Can anybody help to create the sky as on the next photo:
http://www.pbase.com/philos31/image/50100231

Unfortunately this photo is too small and I cannot cut a reasonable
part of the sky. The sky structure is pretty simple so I guess it can
be immitated "manually". But how? Any ideas?

Boy, that photo has had the shit sharpened out of it! Can't help with
your question, though :).

Why not get a different sky and use Hue/Sat to change the color? That may
be how this image was made in the first place.

LOL - you have a way of cutting to the chase. I noticed the photog used
flash in the foreground.

I've had good success just doing a graduated fill - setting the foreground
and background colours to the lightest and darkest parts of the sky.

It can look "too perfect" though, and you'd have to do a careful selection
around the windmill props.

Another quick and dirty trick I've used is to simply select the "bad sky"
and apply Filter -> Blur -> Average.
