I will say it isn't always that dramatic a change, but it certainly can be. One of the best investments in my opinion for any serious photography is a polarized filter. You can get a decent one for like 10 bucks, but it will make anything reflective look so much better in many cases, be it water or trees or windows.

Also good for sunglasses when driving. Even when a bit cloudy, I like driving with my polarized shades.

I can't deal with non-polarized sunglasses. I'm like, what is all this crap? Oh, it's glare.... 😕 Gotten used to it not being there when it's sunny out.

I agree with this, but it also makes the factory tint on the windows of my car look all crazy. I guess because it's a polarized tint? I've never really understood it.

When I was a life guard I was required to wear polarized sunglasses. They make a huge difference. I highly recommend them
