Some Fish - de-hazed

Seeing Akira's firework pictures using the de-hazing filter, I tried that on some fish:


first on without

The new dehaze function in CC seems to work effectively. It tends however to a bit more grain in some situations, is my feeling. It may need some noise-reduction. 

What I like more in the new functionality of CC is that Camera-Raw is now just a layer if you want that. It creates extra flexibility within CC.

Werner, it seems to work nicely.

Considering that dehaze enhances the contrast, the increased noise as its side effect is understandable.

No idea what kind of fish this is, but the weed bed in which they swim is Elodea nuttallii.

Strange yellow colouring of the entire scene.

This was taken here in Bonn, early June, a bright afternoon sun going directly into the water.

This is a pond around a little palace (build by former archbishop Clemens August of Bavaria for his maitress (girl friend) ), which is now part of the university (botanical garden).

The pond was rebuild (cleaned and newly planted) last year.
I assume the fish are from a young breed (it seemed, they were actually hunted by ducks)

No need of a polarising filter.

The colors are very close (feeling: identical) to the visual impression.

What looks like noise is mostly very fine details and air bubbles, blurred by the water or out of focus
(a 100% crop is attached)
