I guess I have no room to talk, but I can see a ground-glass kind of texture in the sky. I found that distracting.

Good eye, Don...I did not see this the first time. Thanks for commenting!

Hey, sorry for seeing the thread so late, I've been in and out of the country and roaming data connection is just killing me. This is a really cool picture, I think the combination of the colors and the sky effects is astounding. Is it a PS effect?

1 Duplicate layer
2 Rub out the clouds or the building
3 create another duplicate layer
4 Select the clear area in the first duplicate followed by inverse
5 Use this as a template to delete the relevant area in the second duplicate
6 You should now have 2 layers, one with clouds and the other the building
7 On the clouds layer use Filter>Distort.Glass
Have Fun.

Honestly, this technique is simpler than I thought it was. This can be used in a lot of ways. Making my life more easier. Thanks lofty for sharing this technique looking for more to come.
