Bryce is an excellent program....and there are ways to make skies very lifelike and real indeed, the horizon line can be moved and lifted out in any number of ways. Also, check out 3d commune's Bryce gallery, the best of the best show there, and you can see some amazing results. I miss working in Bryce, I used to do a great variety of bryce/poser work, but when I hit the technical end, the time to play just does not exist. NPlus your image is magnificent. I was watching a movie called "Pay It Forward" last night and its set in Nevada, they had some amazing skies in that movie.
