You're basically putting photos in front of people who've seen it all. They're not impressed by technical perfection or what gets 90+ on 500px.
edit: It's more likely your friend was losing out to people who could take more photos and be more experimental due to not being limited by the the cost of film or delay of development. Film can't touch digital's feedback loop.
