In Need of a Contrast Fix

Aloha, fellow board members. I haven't posted about any RP rejections for a while now, but I really liked the way this hazy morning shot turned out and wouldn't mind getting on the DB. However, it seems I'm stumped on how to get the right contrast here. Any suggestions on more/less are greatly appreciated!

I really like the shot but if I wanted to get something like it on RP I would try it on a clearer morning.

Darken it by a large margin, and pop the saturation a bit.

Very cool shot with all them different color signals. Maybe more contrast.

Like your Deshler pan and tree framing shot in the database too.

Thanks, BB!

Well, I made another attempt at the shot, but still got a bad contrast reject.

Looks like I'll just have to let this one slide. Darn :lol:
