You need to boost the contrast of your shots. They look dull to me.

Cheers!

Depends on where you meter from (to get your settings). Try meter at the midtone and plus 1/3 or 2/3 if u meter slightly nearer to the brighter area on the sky.

Proper exposed sky/clouds would give you dark background and so on.
