What is your aesthetic standard?
Do you do whatever moves you, and just hope it sells? Or do you target a particular audience and adjust your photography according to what their tastes would be?(which could explain why we end up with so many photos of cala lillies, green peppers, mountains, barns, and cars rusting in open fields...)
It seems to me that a professional artist has to consider the fact that eventually, the product has to look good hanging over someone's sofa in the living room. And that requires making a lot of compromises.
