You could try to auto-trace (I did see your next question). Or, you could trace by hand to make a clip object.

Please post the filenames of the stock images (eg. goose.png, goose.jpg) the file extension will indicate if they are bitmaps.

If you are not using Inkscape to add vector objects, you might consider using GIMP to edit /compose bitmap images.
