Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??

Wow, nice cityscape, and the framing is great too. Would have no clue what to suggest to clear up the haziness, don't really see a need to either, you have done a remarkable job with the original, and this one looks fine the way it is. Gives it a city feel, actually.

Excellent perspective, excellent framing. I think there are certain things you can do to downplay the fog and I wish I knew what they were. lol Here it's just a backdrop to the wonderful clarity of the foreground and mid'ground, so doesn't alter the fine quality of the whole shot.

You seem to have done a pretty damn fine job on the foreground. The haze in the background adds to the atmosphere.

I like it a lot, the mist adds - the background being slightly obscured gives more depth to the shot. I like the way you've used the grasses in the foreground too.
