Christine, this is not a bad shot at all and it can be made better with a little bit of pp. Try cropping it so that the geese are not in the exact middle. I would take out some of the foreground. Then use the adjustment brush in lightroom to lighten up the geese a little more, sharpen them, and darken the water behind them . . . I like the rough waters behind them. I think you might end up with something you really like.
You have some powerful editing tools in photoshop and lightroom. Sometimes a photo comes along that needs a little help.
Good job for sticking with it.
