Ray,

I like the natural setting and the two different poses the geese gave you. Compositionally I believe this might be stronger with a little more space above the heads of the geese if you have it and I might consider reducing the contrast and saturation slightly, the greens in particular do seem a bit on the oversaturated side and there is very little detail visible in the dark heads, necks and tails of the geese. This image is worth further effort
