Took this one while backpacking in the back country of the high sierras in Yosemite National Park's Ten Lakes Basin region. The layered mountains were hidden by a dense layer of smoke, so I used graduated and radial masks to dehaze the background to reveal the layers in the mountains. The two figures in the lower part of the pic are a guide and a member of our backpacking party.
