I am a novice at this, but if the goose was more central in the frame, one would loose the wake which gives the viewer the impression of speedNice landing action Mark but watch the level (it's sloping to the left) and the bird is too close to the left edge, always leave a little space for the bird to move into, otherwise it looks 'squeezed'.

Yes, if I had been there, I would have taken scuba gear and placed myself in the water at an angle of 30 degrees to the bird. You have missed the full expression on the bird's face (I like to see the full face smile) and you can't see whether it has washed under its wings.
If you are wondering how I get a full face smile at a 30 degree angle, I have an electric goose strapped to my head and turn it on at the appropriate moment. It starts flapping in a mating dance and the landing goose always smiles in my direction. I use a transgender electric goose so it appeals to most genders of geese.

Its what they are there for....So.... You have to put emojis on everything these days to enable people to realise something is tongue in cheek? They better start adding pop-up smiley faces to Roy Brydon and Steve Cougan series in that case

Also Den, I feel that, like art critics, some photography expectations and criticism does tend to get a little extreme. Some like a shot one way, some another, some shots are pure art. I woke up with the devil in me.... and when I saw the goose... well... The photographer presented a subject that induced an emotion, well done Mark.

Would this be better showing the landing ground as it were

I think it's a bit between your first image and this one. A little more space to the left and above of frame as it does feel cramped as Gramps said, but not as much as the image above. Then as Charles said, there's a little implied tension.

Each photographer makes his own decisions.
It is not necessary to remove all of the wake, half of the wake in this image could easily be removed without taking away any of the obvious sense of speed when a bird lands.
However the bird so close to the left edge is quite wrong.
