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.
Rather than erase, consider using a layer mask.
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.
