The goose itself looks great, but I would eliminate the following leaves: the one touching the subject's chest and the two smaller ones near it, the one floating near URC, and the small spot in ULC (I guess that is basically all from the top half of the image). I would keep all the others in as they do add a nice autumal element to your image. This guy looks quite relaxed at your presence :-)
I like the way the autumnal colours match the legs. Dan's suggestions are good. This nay have been an opportunity to shoot wide open to blur out the BG more. Lovely light.
