And I think as this shot so much relies on detail in the sky it would add to it as you'd get a lot more cloud textures and separation. Things you're not even seeing standing there. As you're already getting. Even though polarization is not an ideal for rangefinder cameras I use them a lot. They are my "protective" filter more often than not. They DON'T mess with the fleshtones in a negative way. And it doesn't matter if your going black and white or color. Mark William Rabiner
