Hey Dan,
I like the edit better than the original. When it comes to blocked shadows, using a layer mask to do localized contrast adjustments is the key. You could use Color Range and select the black areas to do a selection from. Then create your layer mask from that with the purpose of it to protect those already dark areas. Then adjust on the top layer and add the increased contrast that way.
But this is looking pretty good here. I would only do one last thing. Select the sky alone, and bump up the contrast (midtones) in it. You have the makings of a nice moody sky, I would emphasize that some more.
