I like how you have got in close with these - it has helped to limit the quite high contrast in the lighting. Was the first one taken more in the middle of the day? The others have warmer yellows.
My favourite is the last where you have got the swans placed beautifully.
I see a slight blue cast on the shadow areas in this shot - maybe pulling down on the blue / cyan tones will help, and shouldn't affect any of the rest of the image.

Thank you for viewing and commenting, Nigel. They were all taken at around 3.p.m., the first with the sun behind me and the others angled more towards the sun (roughly towards south). In PP I reduced the yellows in the first shot slightly, as this seemed to help retain the detail of the tightly-packed leaves, when re-sizing for the web. So the others do have more yellow, but I agree about the shadows in the last one and thank you for the suggestion.
