Maybe you saw it. Last Friday for my Phun Phriday! post I did a little mini tutorial on how to replace boring skies with better skies.
Then on Saturday I posted a photo for the PhotoHunt Theme of Vertical and it had very boring skies. Jessica from Quotidian Photography was kind enough to point it out in a comment she made. My excuse was that It was very late when I posted it and I was really tired. Last night I decided to repent (Since it was Sunday ;) ) and I went into my files and found a great sky and merged the two together. It just so happens that the sky that I added was taken the same day as the rock formation, and only a few miles away. Once I found the sky it only took a minute or two to merge them together to make what I think is a better shot.
I'd love to hear what you think about it. And OBTW in case you didn't figure it out from my comment about Jessica above, I really do appreciate good constructive criticism that helps me improve my craft as much or more than I appreciate honest praise.

That sky makes all the difference.A good photo made great.
That is a beautiful picture. Rock and sky.
That is a very cool trick, swapping out the skies. I'll have to give that a try. (And thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment on my own sky shot, btw!)
I do like the vertical rock better with the boring sky, though. It adds an element of negative space, as if the great stone pillar were rising into infinity.
I really admire people that have the patience to photoshop their photos and get rid of elements they don't like. I personally wouldn't do that, perhaps I'm not too keen on perfection every single day... or perhaps I'm just lazy :)
But I agree, your photo with the new sky looks stunning :)
The sky really works! This photo speaks to me. Love it!
I think it looks much better with the new sky. Great job, I know that's an edit that takes a little time.
