The picture is underexposed pretty bad, but i like the actual shot. Although this edit isnt great, here is a quickply with some adjusting to brighten it up some.

I like the composition, but agree it is a little dark. I also find the kids a little oof. Using a tripod might change that.

Something doesn't seem right. There is sun still out there and exif says f5.6 and ISo1600 at 1/4000sec. To me it looks manual mode with wrong ISO which clipped the ss at it max of 1/4000sec. Then some pp done on it.

I just applied a slight bump in curves to make it a little brighter but found by going too bright, you lost all the wonder and color in the sun rise. I then adjusted the gamma a little to make the boys pop a little more

IMO, it's one of those shots you wished you could have zoomed more and gotten sharper, and there's not much that can help it. Still a cool photo though.
