Water birds

Would like any sort of C&C on these please

1: Cygnet - I struggled with the colours on this 1!

2: Mummy duck with some of her ducklings - I was trying to do Mum as the main focus so the ducklings were slightly OOF, but still very obvious, does look better in full size, 500 wide has butchered it a little! Edit: and unfortunately the tip of her tail missing isn't overjealous cropping, I missed the framing slightly

3: Swan - wanted a headshot but not from the side, not sure if it's come out how it should or not!

Few more in my Flickr stream, these I *think* are the pick of the bunch though!

Thanks

The dark reflection through the frame spoils the 1st shot,but I like the camera angle.The second one does nothing for me sorry,its all too busy,the 3rd one is the best of the 3.

Thanks, I see what you mean about the 1st shot! Hopefully will go back 1 day this week and try again, maybe he/she'll be more cooperative? (Taking some bread may help with that..)

#3 I thought was the best as well but I'm not so sure on composition!
