Editing is the most difficult and, as usual, most important thing to do before you upload. The more photos you have to choose from, the more times you should cull the “so so” images from the pack until you’re down to barely a handful that you just can’t get rid of. That’s the cream of the crop. The more consistent you are about doing this, the better your photo stream will be and the more other people will take the time to view your work.

I probably shouldn’t say anything — I’m as guilty of not editing sufficiently as the next guy… or girl.

And if you just have to upload all of those “cute nephew” images you can always mark them as private so that only your family and friends will be able to see them, yes?
