[QUOTE="KWJams, post: 27380, member: 1926"] Great shot and congratulations. :cool: A trick I stumbled across about CPL filters is this. With polarized sunglasses on, look at a scene you want to photograph, while still looking at the scene tilt / lean your head left or right and watch how the light changes. If it looks better with with your head tilted to one side or the other then rotate the CPL to that position. This trick really is noticeable if there is blue sky in the scene and in the case of this picture of the train tracks it would be noticeable how much light was bouncing off the wet steel.
