Default Invading a swan's privacy

I took these but really felt like I was invading their privacy
Mama swan said to little cygnet, come along dear, ( she didn't actually say 'some people have no manners' but you could hear her thinking it), and they demurely slid from view.

Me, too, but it's a bit too light. Or PS the leaves out of the other one.

forget the colour, it went wonky while I was trying to resize it - I can soon get it back!

Actually looking at them again - I can't make my mind up because apart from the coolour which I can fix, and the leaves, which you rightly point out I can PS out, I am left thnking I prefer the positionof the birds oin the second

I don't normally take pics of ducks etc but it was the peeking into their little secret hideaway that I thought just might make a pic.
