Very nice.

I don't use mine much because I never think of it unless I'm down south on vacation and then I make sure I pack it.

Makes a big difference. These things cost a small fortune. Time to get it back on.

geez, is that why the pictures are so 'sharp'? Is it the filter? They look great.

They look good! What kind of filter are you using (and what lens if I may ask)?

"Polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. They can remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass and also saturate colors providing better contrast. The effect can be seen through the viewfinder and changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun."

Ok, I think what you should do for your next photo session, same day/time/view is take similar photos with the filter on and off. Then we could really rave and praise the difference!
