If you are a photoshop geek, you might try this. Select the entire sky with a soft brush to just above the trees. Go to “transform” mode (open-apple T), and grab the center top “handle” and pull it down quite a ways. This compacts the sky and makes the picture more linear. You might have to use the “history” brush across the top of the trees if they have been affected by your “squash” action. That should return them to normal. Anyhow, I think it looks better. See what you think.

I’ll have a go at that tomorrow :)

I use Photoshop, but not overly experienced with it, so will have a play and see what it comes out like, thanks for the idea ;)

Also – you have dust on your sensor or water spots on your lens. Those spots can be cleaned up easily with your cloning tool.

I took the pic from inside the car, whilst sat on the motorway, so the spots probably on the windscreen ! Well spotted though …lol ;)

Agreed with Linda about transforming sky. I would say that in this photo too much sky and not enough of trees silhouette. Photo not balanced enough.
