Enhancing this photo? Lucas
This was taken on Yellow Mountain (Huang Shan), in Anhui Province, China. It was really foggy.

I was wondering what could/should be done to improve this photo, photoshop/Gimping wise?

It's all midtones, it could do with some darker tones and more gradation. I like how misty and distant the further two peaks are.

Consider using a contrast mask in photoshop, and painting in only the closest area. Maybe even reduce contrast with a similar mask on the furthest away object, so that you have three different tones going on.

The color is also a bit muddy, but I'm not sure what to do about that. Brighter green isn't what you want, but maybe a deeper, more "full" green, yeah?
