I think this is an appropriate example of when to give the sky more than 15 to 20% of the image area. If the sky's the subject, maximize it. If it isn't, 20% is generally more than enough to compliment the prime subject material without adversely affecting the subject. The sky is always infinite, no matter how much of it you use. Please view this "Full Screen" for maximum effect.

I am hearing words of wisdom and observing a beautiful sky. I have learned a great deal on this site in the short time I have been here and I appreciate, very much, the experience and knowledge that artists, such as yourself, give freely and with an openess that is exceptional. Thanks my Friend.....

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Sell as much "blue sky" as you can is the advertiser's creed Doug.
I think you sold the perfect amount here. Wonderful shot. Makes me want to buy a Ford.

A great looking sky and great photographic advice, Doug. Amazing colours and post work in the photo. The truck seems a bit flattened perspective wise.
