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.

Hi H.
Please note all,my post was not meant to be seen as a 'Rant' as it did not get the gong,More a chuckle at myself and for people to see that the image is not always going to get the thumbs up.We all know how difficult it is to upload to 'airliners',and maybe it could still there.Regardless,I am happy with the image,and all that other stuff was not expected.
Yes,Humayan I agree photography is to be enjoyed,its not about winning gongs,I hope I have not given the impression otherwise,I rarely go into comps,and it took a bit of propmting from others here to submit that image to those arenas in which it got the gongs,
Leon-after taking the image-was surreal=-like a crewman on the 'Bismark' that sunk the 'Hood' with one shell,complete quite and shock that had actually completed the task given, in perfect fashion with no drama.Took a while to believe it-still does
Cheers Chris
