I hope you don’t mind but I copied this shot in to photoshop and adjusted the contrast, this resulted in a beautiful landscape. Unfortunately here I can not make out enough detail behind the dull grey haze.

this just looks washed out rather than soft-focused

Soft focus is just a little bit overdone.

This is an attractive scene, perhaps a liittle too soft for my taste.

Just a touch to light for me, but a very nicely composed image.

This is a beautiful scene.. have we seen this place here before maybe? It looks familiar... This is slightly washed out.. i think some minor level adjustments would help :)
