I saw the posts on NikonCafe and know about the fstoppers ones also, but personally, I think that your processing was fine - I think that the real issue is that Atlanta's cityscape is just not very engaging and interesting like a lot of other citys. Face it, when you ask someone that doesn't live in Atlanta to name famous buildings in citys, they will respond with the Sears Tower in Chicago, Alcatraz in SF, Empire State builgin in NYC, etc., but they usually can't name a building in Atlanta. Atlanta doesn't even have a real style to its buildings like Miami's beach hotels. That's not your fault and nothing that you can fix, obviously.
