If you exposed for the background, you would be able to see the clouds and blue sky. The shaded area under the tree would be dark, but then you could pull the details from the shadows in the raw file. You basically have a scene with too much dynamic range, so need to make sure you don't blow out the highlights so that you can bring out more detail in post. Or, meter for the sky, and add off camera lighting to raise the shadow areas up so that they fit into the dynamic range of the camera.</blockquote>
