Nice shot Phil. I like how that third one is sticking his head into the frame to see whats going on.

Yup. it just had to get in the picture, nice job.

The whites are about 2/3rds too bright. I would also either crop out or clone out the dark spots at the top. The third swan makes for a whimsical element in the shot, but it might look esthetically better without it - it's a matter of personal preference. Great shot otherwise - and when viewed larger we discover elements almost unseen in the smaller version, such as the water dripping from the bill and the rocks in the bottom of the water!

ahh yes i though it was a bit too bright and the dark bit's at the top do distract from the rest of the scene thank's Dancad

Phil, Lovely shot, as Dan said some of the whites are blown, always difficult to get the exposure spot on with swans, try and follow the Histogram and if possible shoot RAW, you may have a chance of recovering the Blown Highlights.

Cheers

nice shot and welcome to POTN
