Yes, the vast majority of pictures look better when recovering details from underexposed areas versus recovering details from overexposed areas. In fact, it’s impossible to recover any data from a “blown out” portion of an image. In landscape photography, it is very easy to blow out the clouds in the sky when exposing for the rest of the scene. Therefore, I am almost always underexposing landscapes to makes sure there is always detail to play with in the sky.
