Hi Manu
When working with layers in photoshop if you click layers on the menu bar at the top of the screen you will be presented with a number of commands.
The one at the very bottom is Matting, moving the cursor over matting will give you a number of options one being defringing.
Click on defringe to bring up a dialog box in which you type in how many pixels you wish to have removed from the edge of the layer. This can be a useful way to remove that halo effect.

Great comment Mark...and you are absolutely correct. I have tried to to show the old with the new and now I notice the pretty poor halo effect around the crane.
Self-taught PS work does need improving. I will look up what "de-fringing" means and see if it can be added.
Cheers for the comments and please keep them coming.

What's too much.
The hardest thing in photoshop is learning when enough is enough. It's so easy to give images that one last tweak which inevitability becomes their downfall.
I think the PS treatment to accentuate your vision here is damn fine. But I find the image looking a bit pasted. I don't know if they were seperate layered images but it looks like they could do with a touch of defringing as they appear to be suffering from that not so nice halo effect or perhaps that was your intent.
I like the juxtapostion of the two elments the smooth rounded lines of the building on the left is an interesting contrast to the harsh geometric shapes found on the crane.
I like it.

Nice perspective and I like the scary feel to it. Very imposing, can almost see a face on the crane. I'm not sure about the blue on the building, but it's the unusual point of the picture, so not a bad thing

Thanks for your comments Rebecca...yeah I saw it as the new futuristic building competing for valuable space with the old disused crane also.
Cheers
