Photoshop 101: tutorial on background removal

Hello guys. I came across one of my hiking pictures and wondered what it would look like without the dull background Sky.

This is the picture here:

So, using the Photoshop brush tool I removed the background.
1 make sure the picture is a layer
2 apply a mask to the picture 
3 Brush diameter setting should vary as you progress

Bring in your new sky

Change the Layer order
