ssR, You're almost there--IMO it needs more NR. If you can't manage it via 'reduce noise' try and give it a good touch [2-3] of gaussian blur (make sure you make a duplicate layer to do so)

Thanks yet again

overdoesdelusion: i guess it's a matter of taste really, others say its a good thing actually, to be honest i didn't even noticed it untill people pointed at it lol

Vers: i tried, i really did. But this is the best i could manage without losing the overall image quality. Perhaps it's more about me being a complete newb with PS, but anyway i will leave it as it is, since it was already submitted at the POTM site, so not much i can do about it.

ssR, you shouldnt loos any IQ as long as you have two layers...remember what I said in your original thread--make two layers adjust the sky on the top layer and erase JUST the buildings to reveal the bottom layer. Trust me, it'll work.
