Few from the boat trip, kind of difficult to get any unique perspective and it's moving faster than you realize, not that easy to get sharp shots.
Probably the best way is with kayak if you are happy with the water level vantage point and the lake is calmer.

few more

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.

I agree. (I'm also a sucker for foggy shots.)

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.

I like the haze. It adds to the mood.

Better.
Just because I'm extremely pedantic ( ;D ) 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.

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.

Sure; keep in mind I started with a flat picture and that's why I feel I already pushed it a lot.

Here it is.
I understand what you mean: we're probably talking now of things that changes from monitor to monitor. :D

Sorry, my wording was incorrect. I meant to say use the DeHaze to add haze. Definitely, the fog helps to add another element of interest.
