Thanks, Cheryl.  Yes... I think you're right.  

Thanks, Cheryl.

Thanks, both.

Hyperfocal distance I assume?

Accidental, if it was!  

Thanks, both.  Yes - #4 is my favourite out of this set too.

Good choice - well done, Mark!

It's very subjective.
To answer the question as asked - "which would look best?" - I think it's clearly the version with the replacement sky.  You've done an excellent job with the edit.

From the point of view of authenticity, I'm inclined to prefer the original sky though.

Skies can change so fast...

Wow - that's an incredible cloud pattern!

Thanks, Dee.
Yes - it's Codicote Steam Rally this weekend and I'm planning to go tomorrow.

Thanks, both.

I love these events, but it's the first one I've been to for 4 years.  There's another one this weekend though!  

Thanks, Geoff.

Thanks, both.

Thanks, Geoff.

Musical entertainment at the Herts Steam Fayre last weekend...

Wrest Park, Silsoe, Bedfordshire - always a great place to spend an afternoon with your camera!

Lots of lines and shadows here.  I was lucky to find it empty!

An impressive set - I can only ever get decent shots when they stay still, waiting for fish!

That's an amazing sight!

I hope you're both right!

Welcome aboard, Mick!

I'm against AI being used in any creative arts...

Agreed.  AI images will replace artists for things like album covers etc.

but in a few years time when AI is winning Photography Competitions, it's going to make forums like this redundant;

As I said above, our camera club has a rule that competition entries must be 100% your own work.  This clearly bans use of Generative Fill but I think we're going to have to rely on trust - it's going to be very difficult to police.
