Thanks, Michael. I'm not very adept at PhotoShop, but was hoping someone could provide some suggestions about how to improve that image in particular. The other ones are better exposed.

Happens now and then. Anyway, without seeing the others, have you attempted to apply some lightening and white balance correction with software on these? This third picture can be improved exponentially. You have the baseline image captured well indeed.
