replaced background

I took a few pictures this morning at what was supposed to be a hot air balloon launch. Bad wind, and heavy Bay Area fog kept them from flying. However, 2 of the balloons filled up and stayed teathered so the folks could ooohhh and aawwww. The sky was BLAHHHH to say the least. Grey and blown out in my pictures. So I tried replacing the background with a cloudy blue sky. What do you think? Too much ??

The very cloudy sky is too busy, I think. Fewer clouds would be better - also you want to feather the selection more. I can see bad jaggies on the lower right side of the lower of the balloons. Or use the blur tool just there.
