I think it is almost impossible to capture bright clouds and sky in midday without totally underexposing adjacent scenery. You've done an adequate job here, but not bang-up, and it is very difficult to appreciate the scenery while distracted by the very bright clouds. Would love to see this scene taken in early morning or late evenin light.
My issue with this image is that there is not really much of a view - I think either less or more of the hill would be good, and some of the clouds are blown out - you need a faster shutter speed or a smaller aperture.
Nice scene. You might consider moving the horizon lower or higher, depending on whether you want to capture the clouds or the landscape ... as it is, I found the two elements competing with one another
Processing is over the top as the clouds are bleached. I may have tried to crop 3/4 sky and 1/4 land and done some doding and burning to add some additional dramatics to the partly cloudy day. Good Luck.
