Don't get dejected, try lots of styles, experiment and, above all, have fun learning rather than beating yourself up about not being the perfect photographer.
Sometimes the magic touch comes after a lot of sweat and tears but better it comes after many fun hours of trying.

Well said Meadowman and Mike

Also I came across this page in pbase

which takes you to some 'best' selections quickly; these images have an infinitely wider scope than the ImageResource competition winners and more CONTENT - less of the laconic style I reckon is equivalent to the 'soundbite'

also as someone else said you can communicate with the photgraphers you admire/want to learn from (though may be not so easily if you do not have a sub)
