I took this image a few years ago in the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming. Upfront I would like to day that the mist was added to it durring PP. I like the effect. I used Nik Color Efec and the Graduated Fog filter. I am wondering if anyone else likes it and the image in particular. Shooting data follows:

Hey Mac,
I'm torn on this one. Part of me likes the mist and mood.....part of me want a bit more pop although that would definitely change the mood. I've looked at this with a browser crop too....eliminating the rocks on the LRH side......I like it too but I also like the OP comp so just another option for you to explore.

Wheeler, I don't mind the mist even if it's added in PP. What I don't like is the fuddled/blurry details upfront which makes it look like it is better suited to an "OOTB" posting than pure "Landscape"...:e3...is that an effect of the filter? It looks like heat haze affected the critical focus.

i am not sure what the problem is. I can tell you it had nothing to do with heat as the weather was quite cool, as a matter of fact it snowed the night before and had melted by 11:00am. Probably the temperture was in the low 40 F. It could be just lousy focus. I really am not sure the problem, but I agree there is a bit of a problem. Thanks as usual for your thoughts.
