You can re-balance it in post. But it turns out you can either have all 
the scenery brightly lit (as it actually appears in the real world), or 
you can have bright sparkles on the water (as it actually appears in the 
real world). But you cannot have both. Make it brighter and the sparkles 
go away. It's not a problem with the camera, it's just the limited 
dynamic range of a computer screen, I guess...

I'm quite happy with how these came out though, even if it does make the 
day look *way* darker than it actually was. :-)
