Overall I was pleased with the processing of this, except for the sky. Should I add some color or bring down the tone a bit. Suggestions??

I don't think the sky is much too bright. I wouldn't increase general saturation much, but selectively adding color, to the sky? I don't know, that might work. You could try darkening highlights. I see a patch of noise around the center of the photo, perhaps from sharpening that area selectively a bit too much? Nice composition.

Travis, this is a cool shot…
but what you want to read is how to improve it.

I see that it is very noisy, there is not much to do for that at this time,
and there is a yellow over tone stealing the micro contrast.

Here is a version with a decent level of yellow in the highlights and the
middle tones. I did nothing else. Does this help you?
