Hi Barry

Lovely birds. Swans seem so regal. The timing and framing are OK. The strong evening light has given some dimension to the feathers although there is a strong warm cast. This is natural and the camera will record it so, but when we look at things with our eyes our brain will correct the color somewhat because we know the feathers are white. I might tone it down some so it still looks like evening but not so strong. There is a bit of highlight clipping which would likely be recovered if it's a RAW file. Overall I find it a bit washed out and might rework the tones. The water in the background has little color and might add a bit. A polarizer will often fix a lot of things especially on the water and give better richer colors. I did a quick edit to give you an idea of what I mentioned above.

Regards

Greg
