But as long as a decent enough time is allowed to lapse so that pictures can be allowed to receive feedback, then there should be no harm in weeding out the “not needed” ones.
Of course this has the added benefit of being almost like a prize. i.e. “Your picture is good enough to warrant it being given a permanent (for now) place in the gallery”.

Actually that is one of the most sensible of sujestions that I have sread to date. I think also the peson should be informed not just left in mid air
