3 and 4 would be better with a near item in focus; bush, log, rock, etc.
Also might try a haze removal filter in processing. Or clarity increase.
Also try reducing sky luminosity to make it bluer.
I have a couply with such objects that I have not processed yet, but they were actually not particularly good exhibitions of the subtlety of this states geography' As far as reoving the haze That is a skill which I am still poor at. And I didn't have a filter on the lens. Good point about the luminosity; I often forget to apply the tool. I'll post one of the other shots after they've gotten somepp.
