Two Sandhill Cranes on the lake shore where I live, were performing. I had my iso set at 100. Not sure what the other info is. I just got a new computer and don't yet have a program to read exif. I'm going to go download Irfan View now, at the 11th hour.
In post-processing I increased brightness and contrast a bit, and dodged a little light onto the wings. I also added a little saturation to the red crowns, and cloned out a small sprig of bougainvillea that overlapped the male Crane.
I applied USM.

Unfortunately, as the sun is behind them, there seems to be little detail on the birds themselves and the branch in the top right hand corner draws my eye away from what the main focus of the shot should be (the birds).
Interesting action shot. Looks like they are arguing over who is 'alpha". I think I would have liked the shot better if you could have cropped in a little closer on the birds but I see they are already oversaturated and somewhat out of focus.
