You could try to increase ISO.. with regards to the sky being overexposed you may find that doing a HDR is the only way to get both sky and forest correctly exposed.

CL can't help you.....
But I love these shots, I love the darkness, with little shafts of light, I think they are great! I love the dappled shade, and the green is fantastic.

To prevent the sky blowing out while keeping everything else exposed, your need a graduated ND filter. Its dark at the top going clear 1/3rd of the way down. It takes the skies exposure down around 2/3 stops
