Photographed yesterday at Harns Marsh Preserve in SW Florida. How did I do?

Agreed a bit dark I’d do a couple things
1-adjust brightness
2-clone the road gravel out
3-add catch light in the eye
Nice image

Sharp image. Great golden hour lighting. Well done. I wouldn't clone any gravel out or add catchlights. You got a nice clear closeup shot of what you saw. That's plenty good enough.
We have a place near where I live where the sandhill cranes come to spend the winter. The problem is they tend to stay as far away from the dirt road as they can making it hard to get close enough to get a clear picture. It's nice you're able to get a close shot like that.

Technically it's a nice shot. Perhaps a bit underexposed that you should be able to adjust in post. As far as the shot itself, if you had the opportunity to get the bird without the road I think it would be a better "scene".

I suppose you could clone the greenery you see behind it. Or you could try water and make it look like it's walking along the water's edge.

Here at Harns Marsh Preserve in SW Florida the Sandhills ignore humans. We even had, to our astonishment, a group of them walk right through where we were standing. No fear of humans

Not so here in northern California. There's a small river delta island called Staten Island where they overwinter. A two track dirt road runs through it and the birds tend to congregate 500' or so off the road. As the sun sets they start coming in from somewhere and you get some good shots of them in flight or landing.
