Nesting Swans

This is acrylic on a 16 x 20 canvas. I am new to painting and want to try it all. I thought this painting offered me a few challenges, with the water, the back lighting, and drawing the swans. I am really happy with the whole painting especially the water and the grasses.

If I were to do it again I would pay closer attention to the swans necks. I think they should be slimmer. I am hoping to learn watercolor and I would like to attemp this painting with that medium. Your comments good or bad are very welcome . Thanks
