That histogram does *not* indicate under exposure; it indicates a lot of shadow (to the point of clipping your shadows), some mid-tones and few or no highlights. Your photo is composed of a lot of shadow, some mid-tones and very little to no highlights but it is not drastically underexposed. I'd say maybe a half-stop and that's not going to drastically alter your histogram. The histogram displays the degree of shadows, mid-tones and highlights in your photo, it is not always an indicator of proper exposure. You have to look at scene, look at the histogram and see if the results on the histogram accurately reflect the scene that was/is before you when you took the shot.......</blockquote>
