You could try deleting the sky and adding in the sky from another photo.

Like this?
Hey Photoshop gurus, how do you do this without the damn line at the edge between layers? You can see it in my edit and in Travis99's edit above...

real quick fix
i cant decide if the blue in the water looks like a reflection of the sky or just bad photo editing.
image>adjustments>channel mixer
i just brought out the blues a bit, and then some more red

thanks for the answers
TooCool,
thats the kind of idea I am after but I am just not sure how to go about it
I can get roughly the same result as yourself but I am sure someone with more PS expertise can explain how to mix the two? hopefully??

Here's another interesting way of fixing a blownout sky. I've tried this technique, and a few variations too, and it's pretty neat.
White Sky Blues

Here's a quick edit, using only the data in your original shot...
All I did was use a photoshop "quick mask", created using a gradient fill in quick mask mode. I used this to select the sky, but not with a sharp-edged selection; the selection gradually fades in as you go upward.
After creating the selection, I adjusted curves on the selection. First, I adjusted the black point WAY up to darken. Then I played with the white point for the red and green channels give natural colors. A final tweak to the shape of the red channel curve improved the look of the haze a bit.
As a final step, I used gaussian blur on the selection (sky) because the radical curves adjstment had brought out some noise. I also ran a slight USM on the foreground.
This actually took only about 2 minutes. It took longer to save it and upload it than to do the work.
I always prefer to try to work with what exists in an image rather than trying to replace. The results are almost always more natural, and of course this makes sense, since they do represent what was actually captured.

I was bored so added some clouds too.
Seeing as the image had a sun going down warmth I tried to continue with that color for the sky.
All I did was used a mask and a graduated fill. |

Yours looks good. How did you do it without the line between the layers? I've tried feathering, growing selection, selecting similar.

This is the first thread I found regarding fixing/replacing a sky. It's not a perfect fit, but.....
