This shot looks like it is straight out of Photomatix and could benefit from curves, blacks and a bit of contrast.
As for the 'light smoothing', are you using the slider or the buttons? The light here has a bit of a chopped up quality to it that seems to be most prevalent with using the buttons for that option.
If you have a wide enough lens, i would suggest shooting this perfectly level to try to get rid of some of the distorted perspectives.

I actually did treat this after processing in Photomatix to my liking. I kept the light choppy in sections, because well, it was! It was taken sunset and the sun was setting to the left of me causing some shadows on the building from the buildings across the cobblestone street. I am also a fan of wide angle distortion and I always keep that. I don't mind at all if the buildings tend to appear as they lean as well as the barrel and lamp post on the lower right

I think the barrel might be a little to distorted though. To me, the distorted look of the buildings looks okay, till you see how distorted the barrel is
