Seattle Night Shot Take 2

I wasn't able to get rid of the noise in my last image so I converted it into a B&W hoping to give it a gritty sort of old school look to it. I think it came out pretty good and am thinking of putting this onto canvas for my house. Before I do that do you guys have any suggestions in order to make it better?

I prefer there colored edit with the b&w's crop. Should be able to just select the sky and reduce noise in photoshop, that's the only place I see any noise anyway.

It's a very pretty picture. Definitely worth putting some work into the noise in the sky, then get a print of it

I keep forgetting I can do the noise in Photoshop. I just got CS4 after having PS 7 for the longest time. I'm going to look up some videos on youtube and give it a go. Thanks for the comment and advice!
