.... or do my images just suck?


I uploaded fifteen (the maximum) at once about a year ago (soon after I started in pro digital photography) and only 3 were accepted. Now, a year later, when I consider myself to be much better, I uploaded 9 last night and only ONE was accepted. They reject and say things like "main subject not clear" or "focus is off" or "colors are dull" and it's really aggravating. I know I have plenty of room for improvement but still it's a bit discouraging when I can't even get more than one photo online with 9 different ones I think are quite good. My clients, friends and family say their great, but of course they could just be full of crap... anyone else have these troubles?
