they all seem a little dark to me, try adjusting the brightness a bit unless you have a raw editor

How is the exposure showing up on the camera? The image looks to be underexposed by at least 2/3 stop. You were shooting in manual mode but your viewfinder and histogram should've hinted at underexposure. The first few shots I take after getting my settings adjusted, I look at the histogram and the thumbnail. The histogram is a good general tool to use to see if the image is properly exposed.

Exposure Time = 1/125"
F Number = F3.5
Exposure Program = Manual
ISO Speed Ratings = 100
Date Time Original = 2007-11-16 22:49:35
Date Time Digitized = 2007-11-16 22:49:35
Exposure Bias Value = ±0EV
Metering Mode = Pattern
Flash = Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode
Focal Length = 18mm
Color Space = sRGB
Custom Rendered = Normal process
Exposure Mode = Manual exposure
White Balance = Auto white balance
Scene Capture Type = Normal

that's your EXIF data from your image. I'm just telling you that your settings are off. Bump up your ISO to 200 on a cloudy day like that or change the settings to something around ISO 100, f/3.5, 1/80 and that image would've been exposed better. On cold days, I usually don't like going below 1/80 or 1/100 shutter speeds, so I would've gone with something around ISO 160, 1/100, f/3.5.
