What you will get

Your landscape with soft mist layered between trees, hills or buildings, thicker in the distance and lighter nearby, under gentle diffused light.

Why it works

Real fog is thicker far away and thinner close up, and the prompt asks for exactly that, which gives the photo depth. Layering mist between trees, hills or buildings separates them into planes. Diffused light softens the whole scene, and the main subject stays clear and in place.

Common mistake

The fog hides the subject.

Fix: Say the main subject must stay sharp and clear, with the mist behind and around it.

Also watch for

It looks like a flat white layer. Ask for fog that follows the ground and wraps around objects, thicker in valleys, as the tip says.
The light is still harsh. Add “soft, diffused light with no hard shadows”, since real fog scatters sunlight.

Try a variation: add sun rays

Ask for faint beams of morning light through the mist, coming from one side, with the foreground left clear.

Still not right? Reply with this

Make the mist blend naturally around the edges of branches and rooftops, with no hard outlines or halos, and keep everything else unchanged.
