wonderful composition and perspective. I'm sure the blue hues in the distant hills were exactly how you saw them. It would take the image to a higher level for me if there would be a way to remove this hue in a way that keeps the sky blue.

Oh, it is not too hard to remove the haze. In LAB correct the colour in the curves in the channels, create a layer mask and apply to the image splitting the sliders in the blending options.(blend if + lightness) But I decided against it as it would lose the distance and depth in the shot.

Now you have three different layers working as coulisse.

That's all greek to me. I guess I do things the hard way....

I played around with it in LR before making my comment and didn't observe any loss of depth or distance. I may be wrong, though. I may also be hypersensitive to blueish hues in the sky, with an instinct to always want to remove them.

LR doesn’t cut it for stuff like this, you couldn’t selectively remove the haze. That requires Photoshop. But as I said, in my eyes it would flatten the depth of the image, so I did not even try .
