I have attempted to take a panoramic shot of the view from my workplace here in Kurdistan region of Iraq.

However, there is a lot of haze, probably from dust or pollution. Is there a way of trying to get more oomph from the photos? Thanks for looking. It's a Powershot S95.

Slight boost with clarity and some curves adjustment:

I finally had time to adjust the image. I think this looks much better than the original.

This is the image on Flickr. (external link) You can see a larger version if you go there.

Please C&C.

Thank you Rick, I had a problem with aligning my images properly, so some had too much ground and others had too much sky. So, I ended up with empty patches. Hence the heavy crop in terms of height.

In my first attempt, I did the mistake of leaving the camera on P mode, so I ended up with banding where the joins occurred. I then realised that it should be on manual. :-)
