Jane, on my monitor, it is not too dark. To me, it lacks a bit of punch, here is a bit of free licence! Pity thr Reflections Contest is over!! Great potential, well done. Ed.
Jane, to me the image doesn't look too dark for those conditions. However, you can see, against the white background of this forum, that the cloudy sky and white walls of the houses have a blue cast. I would guess that your camera has used a sunny/daylight white balance setting to record this image. Using a cloudy white balance setting would give a more natural appearance, with better greens and a more grey look to the cloudy sky. I think the image also needs a slight clockwise rotation - the house walls are not quite vertical.
E.g.-
Cheers.

Hi Jane, a very nice image and example of reflections; all I have done is to remove a hardly perceptible blue colour cast and to add a the minimum of contrast.
