It is seen that the pixels have values in the range of 62 to 137. The pixel values are visualised in the gray scale image where pixel value 0 is shown as black and pixel value of 255 is shown as white. Therefore the image is gray with little contrast.

Choose View/Image Values to open a window with the matrix of the pixel values.
