Felt like doing these again. Used my fake HDR flow followed by Xero's Caravaggio preset for the result.

The retouched version represents a nice improvement in terms of equalization of the luminosity.
Just as a suggestion, the effect would possibly need to be slightly softened with applying some anisotropic smoothing or selective gaussian blur (even if only for the highest resolutions).

Very interesting, especially the clouds look like abstract shapes now.

Love these aerial city shots. Its amazing what people have on their roofs in the city. I have seen quite a few pools in one shot.

The processing seems to give the pic more depth, it's like seeing with better than 20/20 vision!

Maybe I did oversharpen it 2-ton. lolol

Thanks for the feedback folks.
