I would clone out the black spot on the lower right edge.

Stray bird bottom right. Would have actually been better if the bird was completely in the pic, and in focus, as this could have given some sizing reference point.

Personally, I like the first image better...it looks more natural/authentic.

This does nothing for me. Sorry. It needs some context or foreground foxus

Don't want to be a downer, but i'm really not feeling/seeing anything too exciting.. It looks like you just tilted your head up and snapped a quick photo

Same here.

No... subject. NO offense, but its like you lent your camera to a 3 year old and he/she starts shooting randomly.

Cloud shots without context almost never work. We cant see the full specter like you are remembering, therefor it doesn't work for most. It is a good idea to get cloud formations... but they need something else in the shot to make them work.

Those are definitely clouds...yes.

I think the edit is okay, if you were going for the brighter, more contrasty looking sky... like in a nice colourful landscape shot. If you were shooting a haunted house or imposing castle, then the original might be better?

On a different note, there are a number of spots (aside from the bird) so maybe worth cleaning your lens?

I don't get it
