Also, the filter would force you to have the horizon in the center of the image, so you can't use it if you want to have more of the sky or landscape in the image.
Depending on the lighting conditions, you may find that a enhancing filter works for you -- they come in the basic RGB color spectrum, and the idea is that they enhance the color in question without impacting the others. To get a better sky, a blue enhancer may do the trick for you. It does, however, depend on the conditions.
