Although an over shopped photo usually looks unnatural, a well worked on photo can be exceptional.
If you are entering a photo in a competition is it fair to remove a bland sky and replace it with an interesting one just because the conditions werent right on the day?
I agree with Cheryl, really photoshop is a tool but can't overtake the simplest form of the picture. What you see that day should be what you want to show the world. By changing the picture in photoshop for the background of the sky would alter it and possibly make it look better but then you are not giving the true photo its justice.
