It's usually best to shoot someone (and that includes animals) from eye level.
There are many factors that influence sharpness. You can try a smaller aperture to make the depth of field larger (but make sure you can still keep the camera still because the shutter time will be longer). You could try using a tripod to keep the camera more steady, or simply hold it better. How do you hold your camera?

That's all really helpful advice. At the moment I only hold the camera by hand but my mum has got a tripod and has very nicely offered to lend it to me. So I will be trying again.....keeping all the advice in mind and hopefully posting some improved shots. Might be hard tracking down the "Cygnets" though lol.
Thanks again for all your help.
