Mt. Nemrut, Turkey. Not at sunrise like all the tourists try to do, but mid-afternoon. I got a few shots that I like, nonetheless.

I'd like advice on the post processing here, it was really hazy so the backround hills were fading into the haze. Does it look better to play up that and fade the background out more, or darken the background to make the lighter carvings stand out more? When I shot it, I was thinking the modern road in the background might add some interest- personally, I like the darker background the best.
1)darkened and stretched

2) ~ out of the camera, moderate stretch applied

3) Lightened and blurred a bit.

in comparison, I did some pretty heavy processing on most of the shots from here- for example
