Very nice Mike - good to see the shadows but there is always a price to pay I guess - but the shot still looks very good.
I appreciate the generous comments, Bill.

To me... and since you plugged the sky into the mountain shot...
The scale of the sky does not seem to fit the scale of the mountains. Not that it isn't possible. But, to me, the clouds look to be the size and breadth of only a portion of the breadth of the mountains.
I hope I'm making myself clear.

Very clear, Barry. You expressed my concern better than I could.

Mike I am viewing this on an IPAD, so I am not sure my comments are a true representation on your image. But as far as I can tell you did a good job with the sky replacement. Perhaps you could post the orginal for us to get an idea what you had to work with.
I will along with the latest version, Frank.

You did not confuse me, just pointed out that I have a long way to go to get this "replace the sky" thing down. Thanks.

I used the Landscape Pro plug in. I will go for a better, more subtle replacement.
Landscape Pro's skies, or any replacement skies, can look overdone. Which is why I always apply in a separate layer in Photoshop and adjust the opacity to look realistic.

I am going to have to go beyond LightRoom and learn more PS.

I agree with the pixelation of the sky. My eyes are magnetically drawn from the clouds to the mountains. I think the mountains are fantastic!! I echo the ideas of "sky resolution" and maybe softening the clouds just a bit as they tend to "distract", IMHO. Great shot none the less, Mike!
