I just returned to the states after a one month journey in China with my new wife :lust..

We spent a few days in Anhui Province, at Huangshan, Yellow mountain..
( supposedly the inspiration for Pandora in Avatar)

The whole time we we there the mountains were covered in clouds/mist...

What can be done to a photos like these? any Photoshop tips?

    Is it common for 200+ people to view a thread and have 0 comments or criticism posted regarding the photos?

    Posting to tell me my photos suck is not going to drive to me to an unspeakable and gory end... saying adjust a certain filter in ps might be nice

    Very common. Mainly because there is a very high ratio of guests to members that browse the site. That said, I think the right place to ask this question is in the Technique forum. I've been able to recover misty* shots using Aperture but would need to go back and look at what I did. Btw, glad you enjoyed your visit to China. It's an amazing place and a photographer's goldmine.

    *I think some people might challenge my use of the term "misty" for what hangs over some China cities.

    Thank you for the insight... I'll repost in another forum I suppose

    BTW, China is mind boggling... far too amazing to express in a few sentences..

    And yes the "mist" over the cities is disturbing considering all those that live in said cities..

    other locales are breathtakingly beautiful...

    Also you didn't really indicate what you are trying to change? is it the color? the mist? ... etc.

    Does this look better?
    I copied your image and opened it in PS CS3
    Auto color took care of the blue
    I bumped up the contrast +50
    Used curves to adjust (lighten) the green foliage a bit
    Unsharp mask: amt: 250% Redius: .7 Threshold: 0

    It could have been a bit better if worked from a RAW image rather than a JPEG copy.

    I think this is a bit better but, it is up to you...
