I am thinking that perhaps will be good to run a fill-flash at full manual using 1/500s and ƒ/4.5, then we might see some details in the sky too. however, all these is hindsight as I can't see anything on the camera LCD.
Interesting subject to explore, whether something as big as a 30-ft tree should be flashed in bright day-light
Here's the Illawarra Flame Tree in bloom, photographed on a brightish overcast day, subject is in slight silhouette. First picture without flash, second is flashed. Both shot with EF 24/1.4L at ƒ/4.5 aperture priority, evaluative metering, first pix at 1/500s, second at 1/250s (x-sync). Full EXIF in image.
Flash used is one single shoe-moutned SpeedLite 500EX in ETTL-II.
both pix converted straight from RAW without processing, and re-sized.

why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

i actually prefer the one without flash..
Choy, you should have use the metering for the sky and let the TTL flash fill the subject.
