The weather today was dull, overcast and cold, but a little adjustment in post processing brightened it up a little. The site seemed to suit a dull day.
I daresay this was taken on the same day as the image you were submitting for a camera club competition. The subject matter is fascinating but the flat light was against you. Whether you can change that sufficiently in post production only you can try, that or a revisit when there is better lighting.
