Putting this is this forum because not sure which one would be best for it. Maybe even "Landscape"? It does have a large hand-of-man, the road. And the road gives a nice lead-in line. I have even flipped image horizontal so road comes in from left, but can't decide if that is better. Probably lile this better because the light is coming from left.
Taken in Sep of 2006 at safari camp Nsefu in Zambia. Very early morning game drive, just after sunrise and lots of ground mist still around. Came around a curve and four buffalo were there looking at us.
The fourth buffalo hind 1/4 was on the right edge of image and I cloned it out. Image cropped some on left. But what to do to make image look misty at sunrise??? I changed color balance towards yellow-orange and did a soft gradient coming in from right side in yellow to try and imitate haze over there as if more distant, further away.

Reason: replaced orig image
I'm not sure what you started with, but where you ended up is very nice. I like the hazy light and the color you've
given it. The only further alteration I might consider is turning the guy on the right around so he's facing into the frame.
Hi Tom, I like the effect you created which IMO enhanced the mood. The comp is effective and the road nicely placed. I like both positions of the right hand animal....
