Focus is too soft and the wire / fence stretched across the foreground is distracting.

Hi @Karel260968354l9r,

The photo is extremely noisy. It seem you did no post processing.

You will get some help by reading up the info at the links I post in this thread.

Best wishes

Jacquelin

It is an interesting photo, I will certainly give you that!

 

In addition to what @Jill_C said, it's underexposed.  The histogram was missing detail in the top 5th or so which is the whites.  Although that can be corrected with editing, lifting the exposure introduced additional noise in the shadows that I think makes this unsuitable for stock.

 

That's one of the quick tests I like to give my files before submitting, determining whether it has the ability to be manipulated by whoever might purchase it.

 

Good luck with future submissions!

So it means, that is in my hands.  May I ask you about your opinion of to soft focus. The photo was made with helps of tripod (F11). What is the reason the result photo? What is the reason of too soft focus - inappropriately choose of focusing point?

Soft focus is connected to the lens type - generally speaking.

Soft focus - Wikipedia

Your image isn't very sharp, and this could be because of the lens, or slight camera shake (movement during the exposure time) even though it was on a tripod.
