Rejected, but i am willing to understand the real issue

Thanks again for the support.

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

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.
