Hi Alex,

I have to agree with a couple of comments made previously.

1) The light left side is softening the impact
2) It is a bit messy

I would resolve these issues thus:

1) Before processing as you have, open the file in ACR and darken the left side to more closely match the right side. ACR has graduated filter effects that should make this easy.

2) Mask the taxi, and add a graduated blur effect that begins at the taxi wheels and blurs more the higher it goes. NOT a huge amount of blur, but just enough to soften the impact of the background slightly. (I love Alien Skin Bokeh plugin). Then add a slight graduated blur to the very bottom of the photo too. Then post the results.

Good luck,
Jason
