Difficult hazy light

I like this pic a lot, but I’m really unsure how to treat it. What’s your idea on it?

This is about as far as I could take it without starting to feel over processed. DT 4.8.1

I gave it a shot…kept some of the haze, cropped, masked in some different colour tones for the sky and reflection, and played around with the Contrast eq, and played around with all the sliders in scene referred until I thought I made it look ok.

My try with RT 5.11
I tried to get the blue tint out of the distant mountains, but failed to get anything nice from the sky.

I struggled with this one. I didn’t want to dehaze the distant mountains as I felt this was a natural characteristic that should be kept. I like your B/W edit best.

This was a bit of a tough one. It could get heavy-handed in a moment if not careful. A key bit for me was darkening the reflection in order to “un-flatten” the depth a bit.

That’S a really nice on. Thanx!

Nice shot! I tried to make the sky glow a bit and to retain colors of the ground and sky:
