Ducks and Swans

In January I went back home to visit my family in BC. The live near this lagoon/bird sanctuary area and every day at around noon, this couple comes to feed the ducks and swans buckets of bird feed. We went down to have a look....so many swans and hundreds of ducks! I got to hand feed the swans ...was quite something!

Casil, do you realize just how incredible that fourth shot is? To me, at least, it is.

Was there any post p in it?

That last shot is a sea of ducks, sort of a "Where's Waldo" in duck terms. The swans have a decidedly yellow cast on my monitor, is that just me?

Thanks!
Just a small crop to remove a swan butt..other than that nada.
I actually had these in the recycle bin destined for deletion as I didn't think much of them and pulled them at the last minute.

Michael, the swans necks were a bit on the yellowish side if that's what you are seeing...the rest of their bodies are white in the original. The ducks in the back seem white too so not too sure. I probably had it on the wrong WB (actually I probably had the setting on auto) as this was the first photos I took with the DSLR

Another question. Were they shot with the K200D? If so, maybe you could put that last one back on a card and then put the card in the 200D so that you could run the HDR filter option the camera offers. I'd really like to see that.
