This is a good ETTR exposure plot (example only - your histogram will look different depending on the scene). The histogram is biased to the right, but the highlights remain within bounds and are not clipped. In post-production it is a simple process to reduce exposure and levels back to neutral, with the advantage that noise will be much lower and tonality will be improved over shooting the same scene with a neutral histogram. The highlights have been pushed too far to the right, to the point where they have been clipped to white. You will not be able to recover them, resulting in a lack of highlight definition and a very video-like image if the sky is the clipped portion of the shot. Check to see if you can use a lower ISO setting to help minimise noise and pull back the clipped values into the legal range.
