I like the second, but it's too bright. I feel I need to put my sunglasses on

I think #2 looks too CGI, just my opinion. #1 is cool though.

cheers guys for the really really quick responces

To me the sky looks a bit to unreal, plus you've lost some detail in the clouds.

I don't know what software you have or how you "blued" up the sky, but one trick you can do if you've either Photoshop or Lightroom. Go to Hue and Sat and select the blue channel, reduce the luminance, and this will slowly intensify the blue in the sky, hopefully without loosing cloud detail

Works on skies where a Polariser had little effect ( or you left it at home)

I much prefer number one.

No need to guild the lilly there, it's great as is.

Although I might be tempted to just deepen the blue a tiny bit too.

 

[HIMUPNORTH]

Can't add much to what has been said. My preference is for #1 but #2ain't a bad version.

You can still do the trick within Hue and Sat in PS2.
