Gimp: disguise haze Workshop Photo

Workshop Note

I only noticed that someone had posted a WS after I had done this one.
I wanted to see what I could do about the haze. What I have done:

1- Created a duplicate layer

2- Blend it in overlay mode using a mask to make the water transparent (to leave it unchanged). That was needed so that part would get too dark.

3- Duplicate that layer and blend it in burn mode with only 7% opacity

4- On the process the sky went even more white, so I selected it and applied a blue/cyan gradient.

5- Adjusted the saturation and curves of everything but the sky.

6- A bit of USM and sharpen.
