When the woods encounter "haze", how to post-photography?

Autumn and winter are good seasons for morning fog and advection fog. But one question that has been bothering everyone is, how does the hazy woods make it meaningful?

As you can see from the original picture of Figure 1, this photo is really unremarkable. The morning fog is thick, and the photos are bland without layers and beauty.

The first step is to adjust the "green" of the leaves in the foreground in the ACR. Then make a dynamic blur in the PS to make the background tree blur and artistic conception.

You will have questions, what should I do if the motion blur makes the green leaves blurry? In fact, the "color range" in PS can be used to create a selection, after creating a selection, add a mask, and brush off the "blurred leaves" area. (Figure 2)

In Figure 2, ACR restored the color of the leaves and performed dynamic blurring to blur the trees to create an artistic conception.

Figure 3, using the color balance in PS, adjusts the background to the cool direction, that is, the gray direction. Make it contrast with the leaves in the foreground.

Summary: The key is to create a selection of leaves in PS, and save it, when performing the blur - motion blur, select the selection, add a mask to brush off the "blurred leaves".
