For this type of thing, try just go into the burn tool, choose for range: highlights, and it should burn just the lighter portions of the "block look", you might also try going to midtones range too... but it should make the trees darker and more silhuetted... which should improve that part that is most obvious. Or you can also try going into image/adjustments/variations after selecting that area, and mess around with darkening the highlights, etc. there. Seeing square blocks though sounds more like a resolution issue (not grain/artifact from altering color/contrast/exposure type settings). I would go back to the originals, and redo everything again, and do everything in one take & save... Make sure when you crop - you aren't cropping bigger than the original file size (resolution)... and that you only save once (or twice)... Remember saving jpg files over & over - especially if you keep trying to crop in, will degrade the resolution quality quick. I wouldn't mind working on it for you if you wanted to send over the original files... It might take me awhile to work out the stitching (as I assume that is how you are getting the pano - since I haven't done that sort of thing in a while), but I am definately willing to work on it, ,and send you the best I can get out of it.
