I was thinking the same! The sky looks like it came from a landscape shot and not from a overhead shot.

On the other hand I might be wrong.

Well ... surprisingly you're the first person to say that (it's been on a few social media photographic groups).  When taking shots like this its really difficult with contrast, especially when you have a very bright completely grey sky.  When you replace a sky then it's down to selecting one that is best suited to the rest of the image. On this occasion it's the closest I could get without replacing it with yet another grey sky.   I don't use borrowed sky images so all I have is what Ive taken over the years when I lived in Spain  ... because then it was often having to replace a completely blue sky with something with clouds.  Of the ones I've replaced, this is probably one of the few that I haven't been 100% happy with, but trust me it was better than the original

People don't often make negative comments of the likes of FB in case of getting into an argument.

You'll find it a lot easier if you don't meter for a sky thats not there just spot meter on the building. If you are shooting in Raw you can pull the highlights/sky back when you process the image.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with replacing a grey sky to make an image more attractive but I think learning how to blend two or more images/layers is important. After all if you don't have a suitable sky on file, just pop outside your door :-)

Yep, Ive been replacing sky reasonably successfully for years and most often it's fine .... as I said ... I had nothing really suitable and as you know with the weather as it is, popping outside the door wont achieve much.  One of the pictures in the New York set recently is a replacement <sodemoji.1f609><sodemoji.1f600> </sodemoji.1f600></sodemoji.1f609>

The FB pages I'm on .... theres no fear of making a comment because of getting into an argument
