"Dark" just means exactly that - the uploaded shot is too dark. It doesn't offer judgment on whether it was originally underexposed in-camera, or darkened too much in post-processing, or what.

If you can post a link here, we can look. Otherwise, just have to take the screeners at their word.

Agree with Vik's explanation above. Given the angle of the sun, this image should be OK. I'm viewing this on a laptop monitor so I cannot make any comments on other aspects of the image. But if the "Dark" rejection was the only one cited, it may be worth an "Appeal".

I agree on the angle of the sun, but, I wouldn't appeal it - to my out of practice eye, the image looks grainy. I think I agree with dark as well.

Was the image originally brighter and this darkness introduced in the processing? (ie, to give more contrast).

Purely on the dark aspect, even accounting for the low sun, it needs to be much brighter:

It is important to note that you can’t actually capture a completely realistic image in terms of exposure.But then, that’s part of the charm and one of the things that make photography a creative process rather than representation of reality.
