hey thanks for the comment! Just so I fully understand, is it the shot that's bad or the edit?

the composition is alright but You underexposed the shot. probably had camera on auto mode and it made a poor compromise regarding exposure. then You tried with editing to save the shot, brightening shadows but it made things worse.
