Never throw ANYTHING away! Biggest "problem" here, if any, seems to be separation between the goose head/neck and the background. I've been playing some with curves in L*A*B mode to selectively change contrast. [Great book by Margules (SP?) goes into much detail.] Final treatment of course depends on mood artist wants to show: natural/subdued, bright, antique. [I liked solrac_gi_2nd's treatment; could use a short explanation of what was done...] And, if you'd burned the bushes BEFORE taking the shot, the composition may have been better, and we could have avoided the war in Iraq...
