This is my first attempt to take a photo of the sky and clouds. Let me know your honest opinions. It was very bright out.

Thanks

My honest opinion is this is my least favorite shade of blue for a sky. That is, perhaps, a preference only, but it always reminds me of faded slides.

I'd go for darker instead of lighter. You can more easily do it with a circular polarizer instead of trying to manage it in PS.

DrAchoo's secret to ribbons=no cyan, I actually thought of this for my shadows entry and I can't say he is wrong. :)
I took a try at editing it too and put the steps I took from the original in the comments. Investing in a circular polarizer is so valuable, It really makes colors pop.

Thanks, I forgot to add for the levels I moved the slider on the right to where the histogram started to appear.
