I had a look at the image in Photoshop - the information is bang in the middle of the histogram, so you camera was happy with the job it did on the exposure. Maybe the scene fooled the camera and it is underexposed, though, or maybe it was a very murky day. In my mod I pulled in the ends of the histogram to meet the edges of the information, I used a curve to brighten the image and add contrast, and I increased the vibrance and a little bit of the saturation in the shot. The statue is nice. I think your camera would not have been able to throw the background out of focus by using a really wide aperture as you can on a dslr, which would have been a good thing to do. Could you have stood on the other side of the road and got a better background? Or gone in close and made several shots of details, which you could have maybe arranged in a composite picture of some sort?
Its underexposed as Sue points out. The problem you have though when you try to improve the dark areas, is that noise becomes visible. Strange why its underexposed, - it may have been influenced by the sky, or the direction of the light. But the big question for me is why take the shot from behind? Perhaps the other side of the road has something to be avoided, but in this we are looking at the man and horse from the back.

The problem taking the shot from the front is the background of never ending traffic. john
Thanks for your reaction to my comment on your other shot of this subject. I appreciate that.
