Original Review
A striking monochromatic cityscape with excellent composition. The primary opportunity for improvement lies in cleaning up the sky artifacts to achieve a 'fine art' look while maintaining the dramatic lighting.
- Apply masked noise reduction to the sky
- Increase clarity/structure specifically on the buildings
- Reduce highlights
Strong nighttime skyline with pleasing reflections and a cinematic B&W vibe. The main opportunities are controlling bright highlight hotspots, reducing noise in the sky/water, and adding selective midtone definition to the buildings without amplifying grain.
- Reduce highlights/whites (Highlights -30 to -50, Whites -10 to -25) and, if needed, use a luminance range mask to selectively pull down the brightest building/windows and shoreline lights to recover detail and reduce glare
- Apply targeted noise reduction (Luminance NR ~20–35, Color NR ~20) primarily to the sky and water using masking; avoid over-smoothing buildings
- Increase midtone contrast and structure with a gentle S-curve plus Clarity/Texture (+10 to +20) on buildings only (mask by subject), keeping the sky softer

Combined Improvements Applied:
- Apply masked noise reduction to the sky
- Increase clarity/structure specifically on the buildings
- Reduce highlights
- Add a gentle vignette
- Reduce highlights/whites (Highlights -30 to -50, Whites -10 to -25) and, if needed, use a luminance range mask to selectively pull down the brightest building/windows and shoreline lights to recover detail and reduce glare
- Apply targeted noise reduction (Luminance NR ~20–35, Color NR ~20) primarily to the sky and water using masking; avoid over-smoothing buildings
- Increase midtone contrast and structure with a gentle S-curve plus Clarity/Texture (+10 to +20) on buildings only (mask by subject), keeping the sky softer
- Crop slightly from the bottom (and optionally a touch from the top) to reduce the heavy dark water band and tighten emphasis on the skyline and primary reflections
- Add a subtle post-crop vignette (-8 to -15) and/or a very soft linear gradient to darken the outer sky edges slightly
