Back in January, i shot a scene at Derwent reservoir in fog/mist, it was minus 4, just about daybreak. I shot it RAW and jpeg on my 6D, now i'm quite happy that i got a nice shot, but i;m torn with the processing, do i embrace the ethereal look or try to make more sense of it by increasing the clarity, contrast etc.
link to the in camera jpeg that i uploaded to 500px https://500px.com/photo/215535385/winter-fog-by-rob-thrall
 
Probbably better to post photo on here. Rather than posting a link. Without seeing it my first thought is. If it was the ethereal misty look that made the scene attractive to you. Why process it out.
 
Brightening the shadows by 35-50 %, certainly makes an improvement including the colour in my opinion

The upload was too large and i didn't fancy resizing it.
 
It's one of the rare times where i can't make up my mind how i want it to look. I think the one in the lnk is too blue but it was at dawn blue hour, but if i make it too neutral it loses atmosphere.

I think I'd go for...

Or maybe that's still a little blue.
 
I prefer the original, blue and all

Yeah i got the same sort of look myself, but i also got seduced by the pesky clarity slider, i don't remember in my mind's eye that i could "see" each tree on the far bank but the slider revealed them, not sure i liked it though.
