How would you feel if your boyfriend or girlfriend kept pictures of their ex?

I'm not bothered by my boyfriend's pictures of his exes. He keeps one on our fridge - he and his ex, after they'd finished a marathon. That was a major accomplishment for both of them, and I'm hardly entitled to tell him to crop her out of the shot. I'm also not threatened by it - they broke up, and we're quite happy together.

Everyone is entitled to their past, and you're entitled to keep pieces of that past. If my partner was fixated on those momentos, then you have something to worry about - like if they're spending more time with those old pictures, than with you. Otherwise, I don't see what the big deal is.
