Parts of an image overlapping text

I'm working on an image and I'm trying to have parts of the image overlap on the text. I'm using InDesign 2.0 for the layout.

For example, there's the top building, and I want to put the title of the publication behind a couple of the buildings in the foreground -- i've seen this effect used lots of times.

I thought the best way would be to use a clipping path in photoshop, and then place into InDesign, with the text created in InDesign.

I've found with this, however, even with all the images at 300dpi, the overlapping part of the image still looks jagged, and of course you can't have any feathering using a clipping path as far as I know.

Is there a better way to do this where the overlapping part of the image will look sharp?

Thanks,
james

Since InDesign will handle transparent .psd files, just cut out your Foreground portion and save as .psd and put it on top of the text.
