IMHO the best are the second from the first three and the last of the second three.For both I would try a black&white conversion.
Interesting, here is a bw conversion. While I'm not yet convinced on the first I do prefer the second in bw.
I agree: I like the second one quite a lot.For the first one, I may be wrong but maybe it's too light.I would try to darken it a little and increase the contrast on the rock.
Done and done; thanks for the advice. It did feel a little too light but I had a different starting point and I didn't want to overdo it. It's easy to lose perspective.
Try adding "DeHaze". I haven't used it yet, but I understand it is push-button fog/mist.
Better.Just because I'm extremely pedantic ( ) I would add more contrast in general and between the center and the borders.I did a test on my monitor, if you allow me I could post it.
Sure; keep in mind I started with a flat picture and that's why I feel I already pushed it a lot.
I tried it on a different shot, it's a kind of clarity I think. Didn't figure out how to apply it more specific (as you can easily do in Nik should you want to). Either way I'm not sold; you lose the mood of the fog and the picture is not going to be as clear as if there was no fog anyway. I guess it would be good when there is just a little haze.I think the fog adds a lot here because otherwise I would to be left with a flat light from a cloudy mid afternoon, not to mention this was probably photographed from the same perspective thousands of times. I had to push the contrast/clarity/black levels significantly.
