need help photoshopping this pic

[learjet035]

hey there. I took this pic in Ireland, which I have made into a pano in PS. The far right corner of the sky is over exposed and blown out. I messed with it for a while but it never seem to look quite right. I would really love to hang this on the wall so if anyone can give some ideas on how you would fix it... I'm all ears. Thanks a ton.
PS I thought about replacing the sky but I could never really get that fringe look to go away.

Here's my try, Learjet. I upped the contrast a bit, did a magic selection of your sky and replaced it with a sky similar to yours in my files. Selected and multiplied your distant mountain range to give it a little density. One way of many solutions, I'm sure. It is a beautiful picture!

Thanks Karen! That came out really well. When you magic wand select the sky do you feather the selection @ all? I keep getting this edge effect that boarders the mountain range that you can really pick out. Thanks again.

Your image doesn't look bad at all. Maybe to someone that is overly picky, but it is a good image as it was.

Thanks =) I was planning on printing it big and hanging it, so I just wanted everything to be perfect.

Didn't do any feathering; just a select and replace. My sky was very similar to yours, so I wasn't too worried about fringe.

To add a little more contrast to your images, try unsharp mask at: 20%/50/0. This is something suggested by the originator of Photoshop, and I think you will be pleased with the difference it makes.
