Just took this shot this morning driving to town. I'm not sure what to do with it. I adjusted the brightness and contrast, but with the range so far out I'm having trouble figuring out what to do here.

Any suggestions?

Here's the image after I took out some of the blue haze and brought out some more color in the tree in the foreground.

Hi Steve, if I were you I would get some contrast going, get a proper black point and maybe some warmth into the shot. The tree may look too dark at that point so you may need to make some local adjustments to it.

might I suggest you download DxO 11 for a 30 day try. I took the liberty of trying your jpg through it and using the "ClearView" function. and even with the jpg it made quite a difference cleaning it up.

This is what I would also suggest.
