Sandhill Cranes and other things

I wanted to go to Merritt Island on Saturday but Harry convinced me to go to Viera Wetlands. Actually I did both but Merritt Island was kinda dead. Here are a few shots that I took. I hope that you like them and please let me know what you think, good or bad.

I think you have yourself some great captures. I really like 6,7 and 9. All pics are in focus and show some nice sandhill behaviors. My only nit is that they are just a tad dark, at least on my monitor, but good nonetheless. Perhaps some fill flash would have been in order.

Thanks,
I have a flash extender but I haven't really figured out how to use it yet. I've tried a few times but with no luck.

If you have the beamer, this article may help you if you haven't already read it.

Looks like you shot the same sandhills I caught that afternoon. I hoped you liked the wetlands and I apologize for not telling you to check out the click ponds also.

Good captures but I would try to lighten then up a tad in my post work.

Should all of them be lightened?

1, 4, 6 and 8 seem to need more light to me.
