You only have to read their image submission rules to see that minor things like colour casts, imbalance, excess or under sharpening, etc., gets an image rejected.
They only have the highest quality images on that site.
Sometimes we have to take a step back. What we perceive to be beautiful work is sometimes seen as mediocre by others. Yes, your image has won gongs and has been seen around the world, but, it was accepted by people who aren't as stringent as airliners.net is.
Be proud of what you've achieved and aim for something even better next time.
Photography is an art. Art should never be about winning awards; it should be about conveying a feeling, and evoking emotions or getting a message across. That's what art is about. If you happen to win the hearts and minds of institutions along the way, then, so be it. But, it should never be the sole reason behind why you depress the shutter release.
Don't take it to heart.
