I am sure that it would be possible to make a much more dramatic sky from the image you posted. I use a plugin from www.fredmiranda.com (click on "software" and then "B&W Pro" or something like that). It basically automates the process of using the channel mixer and has settings for yellow, orange, red, green and blue filters.
