I could see this being used by a company. Not sure why they would want an image of a syringe in a glass though. Personally I like the image, good composition on the page. 8
Very cool use of the refractive properties of water. Magnifying that portion of the syringe adds a lot of interest. I like the light on this, and think it could do well as a stock photo.
