I actually don't know what a "typical" foggy cast is. Can you post an example?

Here is the image. I'm in CS5 playing around with selections, color etc etc... trying to get better with the whole program.

The foggy cast I'm talking about is the grayish cast over the planes. The lack of color intensity. I hope that's better.

Raise the black point.

If you shot raw, you'll have a lot more to work with. If not, mask out the planes and deal with foreground and background separately.
Shadows/highlights filter will help bring out shadow details on the planes and increase contrast on them. (With the strong backlighting,
there isn't a lot of detail to recover from the planes -- again, unless perhaps you show raw.) For the background, I used a hue/sat adjustment
layer in multiply mode.
