Re: Pollution
RAW images are very commonly flat and this is no exception. That isn't because you've done anything wrong Fi, just that you haven't yet done what the file is waiting for in order to boost it. RAW files by their very nature are rarely going to be how you want them right from the camera simply because they are untouched, unprocessed files. The sheer logistics of using sensors means that we can be as careful as we like at getting it right in camera but some post-pro work will almost always be needed, however minor.
In this case the contrast boosted and, as Charlotte said, the overall tone lifted, will make it gritty and powerful, a real social comment on pollution.
So, get to it lass, but don't expect to get it perfect first time. Processing RAW files does take a bit of getting used to and I will happily help talk you through the CS2 process. The benefit is that you have an image with greater tonal range and in this particular shot I am sure you'll end up with something with real impact.
Cheers,
Rob
