To me the range of tonality is to narrow. There are no whites.

I notice you have your camera's contrast set to HARD, the saturation set to HIGH, the sharpening set to HARD, and the metering set to Evaluative/Matrix or whatever it is Sony calls it.

I would probably have use a smaller aperture than f/4.5 for that scene and used spot metering.

What is spot metering?

What is spot metering?

Metering usually has 3 modes you can select from.

What Sony calls multi-Segment
Center-weighted
Spot

As it's name implies spot metering sample a small part of the scene.

Your Sony users manual will explain how Sony approaches metering.

I down loaded the users manual for the A-550 and looked it up for you, it's on page 97.
