Nice set of shots Laura
No.1 is my fave, but I think I would crop some of the blue sky from the top.
Why?
I would cut enough off, so my final image would be devided into four equal segments, of blue sky, fluffy clouds, trees and then finally grass.
I think that composition, along with the four completely different colour tones, would make for a really nice print!
It may even bring your swan slightly more into the centrre of the image also, making a really nice focal point.
Just a thought

With a pic as lovely as that, there are a lot of options ...I don;t like seeing focal points dead in the centre ..so here are a few ideas ..
Cropped and slightly altered colour
Same but with soft focus
And sepia
A bit noisey but these are just to give you an idea ..
