I can't tell really help you with Capture One, and I can't do too much with the jpeg, but opening up the shadows a bit, a touch more brightness/contrast, and especially a warmer white balance will get the the planes to "pop" a bit more. With a blue sky, if the clouds and your subject are also sporting a blue tinge, they can appear almost translucent and lacking in definition. Nice crisp shots, that relatively cheap lens isn’t bad at all.

Erik, your retouch look great. Such a small change that really improves the image. Thank you. I would be happy to post the raw shots, but I do not know how to upload them here. Nonetheless, your edit of the JPEG has already shown me much improvement

Orbit220, I like your top-of-thread C1 conversions best so far.

By GIMP editing and noise reduction, I reduced size by 66% without reducing quality. I'm not sure I like the increased blue saturation and brighter clouds, but maybe they increase contrast against the planes? Anyway nice shootin'. I love the cloud textures. Your XC 50-230 is impressive!
