Yes to the clouds, the entire sky. The background was water.
Maybe a little less of a distracting sky? That is the only one I had....

Here is the original, any suggestions to make it pop?

Cheers

The sky simply does NOT work. You cannot composite a sky which you look up on into an image where you are looking down on the subject. Doesnt fit at all. Original is nice but maybe pump up the contrast.

I pretty much agree.
I would reshoot with strobes so that you can underexpose the bg a tad and that will make her pop more. Shoot against sky or lake behind her. Pose is fine, you just need little bit of planning before you shoot. I would also shoot lower to get more on bg, not just water

Heres my take on the water. Aside form using the Downward Dog i think this is a great pose. It lends itself to the addition of GFX for name/phone/www ect.

First step........ Take the lens cap off.
