squaw-falls retouch with new sky

I added a replacement sky as a new layer, switched the layer blending mode to darken and roughly masked any sky that bled into the foreground.
I made a duplicate of the sky layer, transform flip vertical, switched layer blending mode to overlay and masked in small reflections in the close foreground. Converted to smart object layer and blurred the "reflection" with Wave and radial blur.
Adjust the opacity of both sky layers as needed.
Add sky and reflection Color balance adjustment layers to blend with the foreground colors.
