Beautiful image Terry!! I used a gradient fill to replace the sky in one of my shots and it turned out pretty well. I used the magic wand to select the sky area and applied a 2 pixel feather. Then set up foreground and background colors of white and sky blue. Last, I selected gradient fill and played with the start and stop points until it looked right. Here the link to my image:
