Aperture: F20
I was wondering if the ISO was too low or anything that I can do to improve it.....any suggestions?
In my opinion it doesn't seem as vivid as it could be.
update: I tried to adjust the tone curve assist to high....and the picture is brighter but it becomes grainy...why does this effect happen?
Thanks

The photo is very underexposed. You need to open up the aperture more, to get more detail. Try using f8 or f11 with a 20 second exposure.
The photo gets grainy because you're trying to get detail where none exists. It's always better to get the shot right in camera than try to fix it later in software.
