>add gradual filter with clarity on the sky
This is where it went wrong.
Either try the auto masking in adjustment brush for the sky/mountain barrier and fill in the whole sky, then do the exposure adjustment or fiddle with the color adjustments prior to b&w conversion. Basically pull the exposure of blues to make the sky darker.
