  Taken early one morning in Glendalough. I was a bit disappointed with the haze in the left and background, but the reflections were really vivid.

  Any C&C welcome….as is any advice on how to prevent or reduce haze in future shots :D

  Thanks,
  Eddie

  Try using a polarizer it might even it out a little bit?

  You could improve the one you have my creating a few layer masks in photoshop.

  Create 3 new layers (one for the sky, one for the water and one for the mountains).
  In each layer increase the contrast and saturation. Then in colour balance increase
  the blue and cyan in colour balance by 5-10% and overlay the new layers on your image
  by 20% at a time on the original image until you are happy with the result.
  Will give you a more vivid and contrasty image.

  But I agree with Jenny on the polariser.
