Thanks for the feedback and suggestions John and Larry. I've tried to avoid selective noise reduction, etc., but that may be the only answer in this case. I've spent more time working on this one image than any other image ever... part of it is a learning curve with noise reduction.
I'd do it in layers. The sky is the problem. Do a layer, work the noise reduction in it to make the sky look good and then erase it where you don't want noise reduction.
Conversely, you could probably use the magic wand to select the sky, and work it separately, either as a new layer or just on the background.
Either way, I don't really think a global solution is the way to go, though I do think the image has sufficient merit to try to prettify.
