Most times in direct sunlight you will not be able to get your shutter speed slow enough to smooth out running water creating that creamy textured effect.A CPL is used to cut glare and reflections. For example when photographing a pool of water. It will remove the reflections so you can see the rocks and such below the surface. With CPL's though you need to pay attention to where the sun is. Usually you have to be 90 degrees from the sun in order to get the full effect across the entire image. Basically CPL's cut glare and reflections and increase contrast.</blockquote>
