Feathering doesn't work for this, it always leaves artifacts at the tree
line. Depending on how you do it, you either end up with a slim band of
the lower part that is affected by changes to the sky or vice versa.
For this one, I would use Select=>Color to grab the sky. Then the Lasso
and/or square selection to complete sky selection above the tree line
and deselect below the tree line. Then clean up along the tree line with
magic wand. The color differences along the tree line should make this
pretty easy.
Then copy to new layer, don't delete to new layer. Somehow that always
leads to trouble along the edge for me.
