Hello,

For stock purposes, not very good.

Noise:

Composition:

Blurred foreground. The foreground is distracting.

Who would buy this picture and how could it be used is a good question to ask yourself.

Thre are many pictures in stock of ducks which are better.

There are a lot of distractions: the reeds and ripples above the ducks.

Cheers

This is what you’re competing with in Stock inventory.

https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=ducks+on+water 1 million ducks on water

Is yours really better than what Stock is selling?
As a customer, would you buy this over what’s available?
What would you use this for commercially?

Ducks don’t sell. In my 30 years in stock, I might have sold 1 duck and it was a closeup

It is too dark and too much noise. Also, the foreground should be cropped away.

The main subjects are a bit small and there is probably a more interesting composition in there somewhere. Putting them off-center gives a feel of motion.
