Thank you!

This is the only one of many where the sky wasn't completely blown out white. I knew it when I was taking them but I didn't know what to do to make it right. I think I needed to change my metering, which was on evaluative. Is that a correct assumption? For the colors, I'm getting to the point where I can learn to behave. But I still overdo it a tad during post production.
I'll try the shot again earlier in the day.
Thank you for the input!!

Agree with the above but in similar situations try shooting Raw with -ec with bracketing on.You will control the highlights and your raw converter will bring back the colors in the dark areas.[start your testing at -.3 ec.the brighter the light the higher compensation you will need]Sometimes there won`t be a second chance.

Would like to see more shots at this location, being it is so close to home...
