Little bit difficult to see the sky what with the electrical lines, power tower and bush in the foreground.

Without the bush on the left would have improved it a lot, I quite like the power pylon but that's just my taste

Yeah, like the 2nd one better.

Polarizer on the lens? They sky looks too saturated to be completely natural.
