Doesn't look too dark at all Bob. Nice capture! I can't remember the last time I got the chance to photograph an Osprey and you get them mating! Very nice work.
Excellent and unique series!
They actually are a bit dark. It appears that you metered for the bright areas of the birds (..and rightfully so), but it came at the expense of underexposing everything else. Personally, I don't find it to be a liability.
