More than 50 Swans frequent a Bay near our home and I was able to get up early enough to get some shots with some descent lighting. Shot with a 7D and 100-400 EF lens.

You're right, the morning light suits these birds perfectly.
I really like the symmetry of the 2nd image; too bad you couldn't record the reflection as well. Nicely done!
