Both wonderful shots.

I really like #2, as it shows the swan's colours in a non-standard pose.

Very sharp pictures, and well exposed. A credit to the Tameron.

I like number 2 as well for the same reasons. If you dont mind a criticism, perhaps you could clone out the shadow on the extreme left of the frame ?

Pic two is very nice, Peter is right about the shadow as well.

My only slight criticism would the blown higlights on the swan in No. 1.

Swans are tricky to photograph in strong sunlight, most of my swan shots have blown highlights

Yes have to agree with your comments re highlights I have loads of what would have been very nice pic's spoilt by this with swans.
