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.

I take photos of birds and other wildlife as my other hobby. I think that I have got really nice pictures, then I see photos by others, photos that make me want to chuck my DSLR and lenses in the bin. But I don't let it worry me too much, I just try and be better.

I have submitted aircraft photos in the past to airliners.net and had them rejected also. Their conditions and guidelines are not consistent and I've seen some shockers get though (IMO). I've given up and just take aircraft photos for my own enjoyment.

I personally think yours is a beauty and something to be proud of. Go with Dennis' advice - Bombardier may be interested.

I cannot recall the history of your image but I'm guessing it's a Sunstate Dash 8 Q400? I have a couple of 1:400 diecasts of these (https://store.jetphotos.net/images/P/GJQFA864-300.jpg)
