Shot from a moving train in northeastern Switzerland near the Liechtenstein border.
Dodge & burn, minor cloning, very slight rotate & crop, unsharp mask, sponge, selective sharpen.
Though the haze is somewhat transparent, the real transparency part that "creates the impact of the photo" is the very clear/transparent sky above the haze. I hope that's not too subtle of a fit for the challenge.

Awesome job, this is a very well deserved finish. This was an extremely tough category in my opinion. It was really nice to see something different in this category as well. I love the warm feel in such a scenic farm town area. I don't see much of anything I would change. The only thing, very small is possibly is adjust the contrast to make the sky a little bluer or add a polarizing filter. You did an excellent job, congradulations!
Wiggis, the mountain in the front sticks a mile straight out of the ground (500m - 2000m). Glaernisch in the back goes from 500m - 3200m, so more than 1.5 miles out of the ground. This picture is breathtaking, but still doesn't do it any justice being there in person. Glarus, Switzerland, is just an amazing area, and not just cause my mom grew up there. LOL
After seeing them all -- this photo was my favorite one in this whole challenge. Congratulations on such a strong finish -- but I think the commenters score is much closer to what this photo deserves.
Woo-hoo, a photo with no plastic or "ghost like" people. I like it. Well done. Great capture of the sun's light. One of my favorites, good luck in the challenge. 10
