How do I get what looks like light waves out (or toned down) above the city skyline??
I have LR and DDP and still new to working images out. Any help is appreciated.

Might be the quality of your monitor?
I see what your on about when I look on my laptop, but not when I'm on my PC with a better monitor.

Someone else may have a better answer though :)

It would appear there is an overall lack of sharpness on the image.

I think what you are seeing is posterization or banding. It becomes much more apparent when a bit more exposure is applied in post processing.
