You have a ways to go dick for submitting your first 10. Hang in there, study the top 50,Search portfolios, Look at the tech and processing skills people have. The bar gets raised everyday now as there are some extremely talented people here. You need Photographic skills and Photoshop skills at a high Level to acheive any measure of success here. Getting accepted is the easy Part, Having Images that sell Is very,Very Difficult. Your gonna need concepts my friend,Sand dunes type things just aren't gonna cut it. Anyone can do that, You have to come up with stuff not just anyone with a camera on auto can do. Thats your assignment. This is commercial Photography, Not flicker. Good Luck.
