I agree with Tim, Cloning out the couple of other bird part's is the most obvious thing to do.

Sorry I did not see your attachment, now I see what you mean it does clean the image up.

I was not going that far yet with cloning, i was more interested in the actual image of the bird.

I don't really see much room for improvement in the bird itself. There's a little haloing around the outline, under the tail and chin, from sharpening, but apart from that it looks fine and dandy. I did give a small boost to Vibrance in Lightroom for my version, but really it is the cloning out of the distracting elements that makes the biggest difference.

Sorry about the fright I gave you when you first read my post

Technically little room for improvement however it's not exactly the most interesting or challenging of subjects. Whilst I appreciate this is largely a matter of taste personally I'd be tempted to try and get a shot of the goose in flight eg. the moment it touches down and water- ski's along the water.
