Sunrise and fog near Ithaca.

This is a really ham-fisted job with the colors, but I can't help but make things tacky once I begin playing with white balance and saturation. It seems like by the time the picture has the visual impact that the scene itself did, everything's starting to look like a kitschy painting. I ended up here because I wanted the sunrise-illuminated glowing crest of that hill to be as striking as it was in person, although everything else by this point is not at all how it looked to the eye. The post below shows the original auto-white balance version which also does not appear as it did to the eye, but for the opposite reason. Colors looked pale and washed out because the camera can't capture the dynamic range we're capable of seeing. Someone with better photoshop skills (and maybe a better eye for color) would be able to find a good middle ground. The post on the next page shows fairly true to life colors.
