Thank you Steven for your very kind comment! I used Mr. Contrast just for color. Other than that, I used regular PS saturation and curves. I had to struggle with really dreadful noise. Needless to say, Neat Image was very helpful.

Wow Alex I am truly amazed with this photo. Have you ever thought of saleing your artwork. I would buy this one! I love this city and all of the stunning architecture that is here. But this photo has all the right temps with the greens and the blues and the typical meditreanian style buildings absolutely gorgeous

Thank you Penny! You are too kind. I'm still a beginner as a photographer. And I have to study and work hard to get skills and knowledge to be a full fledged digital photographer.
