I think you might have written that one off a bit too soon. I think the blurred rider adds a bit of action to the image and the contrast in the background can be boosted without much effort in Photoshop. Not much you can do about the sky - other than replace it with a new one - if you are so inclined :-)> - or add a bit of colour with a masked colour fill layer.
