To the OP: Good first effort. I'm thinking this is a photo that might have benefited from a graduated filter. If you're not familiar with one, it allows you to bring up the detail in the darker sections without blowing out the exposure in the sky. Can be useful for landscapes/scenics, especially when the ground is in shadow or you're shooting over water. See:

Hope that helps.
