I’m some what new with PS so please bear with me.
For the most part I like the changes in #2 it exemplifies that bright fresh sunny day look, except for the clouds. To my eyes they don't look entirely natural.

Ok I am assuming all you did was increase the exposure before you so that duplicate the image do the exposure settings again aply a layer mask select the layer mask then choose the gradient tool choose black to white option or black to transparant and draw a gradient from top to about the middle of the image and you should see a gradual mask hiding the top part where the clouds are.

Its pretty good but the first image is better and looks natural.
