If possible get a gradient ND filter or avoid directly showing the sky as that white blown out highlights look is a very 'digital' look.

Yeahh, looks like this shot is just going to have to get cut.  Most of the others in the scene were fine, but as you said...too bright here, too much sky.

If you've the means/time, do a sky replacement, maybe?

The big issue is the background -- it's not a problem it's blown out to white (the sky is white in the 16mm frame too), it's that it's too sharp. If you add a subtle "bloom" to the highlights it will soften the image and make it feel less "digital."

In addition, the shadows in the 16mm have a blue tint to them. The saturation is higher, the contrast is harsher, and the leaves are very green whereas in the digital frame they're almost yellow.
