I usually have a shot or two from most shoots that I like, but I can only think of a handful of shots from the past 10+ years that I consider "great". I can't even guess how many photos I've taken in that time, if I somehow did the math and realized that only one out of every 10,000 shots was genuinely great I wouldn't be surprised.
That said, as I've gained experience I do feel that I get consistently good shots much more often. I think part of why I haven't gotten many exceptional shots is because I have a deeper understanding of what a good shot even is. As I've become more capable as a photographer I am able to more consistently take good photos, but my standards for what I consider to be exceptional have also gone up.
