There is no question that the mood in this photo is beautiful, Michalis, but I like that you didn't mind my suggestion and even found it "impressive". Thanks for being so gracious.
Cheers, Leora

Dear Ali,
The main use of a polarizing filter (PF) is that it removes reflection from surfaces. For example, if you take a shot behind a window much probably some reflections will appear on the glass of the window and as a consequence on your shot. If you use a polarizing filter, this reflection will be removed and you will have the same result as in the case without a glass between your camera and the object of your photo.
I have found this type of filter very usefull in taking shots including water surfaces (lakes, sea). When you take a shot at the sea (without filter) usually the sky is reflected (mirrored) on the water and as a consequence sea and sky have the same colour. Using PF this reflection is removed so sea has a better distinct colour and if the waters are clean and not very deep the bottom is visible. I have uploaded many shots using PF:
http://www.usefilm.com/image/1186225.html
http://www.usefilm.com/image/1185200.html
http://www.usefilm.com/image/1184077.html
http://www.usefilm.com/image/1177839.html
http://www.usefilm.com/image/1176959.html
http://www.usefilm.com/image/1158823.html
In all these shots, colours have not been edited at all in photoshop. The result can attributed solely on PF. Of course you can read about PF and experiment with it, so you will find many different ideas about how to use it in order to get better results. I am just giving you some ideas.
You can see all these differences in real time when you have a circular PF on your camera, by rotating. In this way you will be able to take the shot you want.
A PF can be attached on any lens. They come in different sizes depending on the diameter of the lens. You can go to a photography shop and they will give you the PF for your lens.
I hope that the above will be of some usefulness to you and not very borring.
Regards,
Michalis

Dear Michalis ! Many thanks for tour kind information. In one of your photos you are talking about an circular polarisation filter for enhancing blue tones. Can you explain me what is this. And is it possible to use it with NikonD70. Best Regards. Salutations.

Dear Michaelis, I know we don't agree on some effects, but I hope you do not mind a bit of the "surreal" touch on this fantastic mountain top photo.
It is amazing the way it is, but I wanted to see more of the color of the rocks and tile and the sky a bit more dramatic.
It was interesting for me and maybe you will like it....

Dear Michalis! Wonderful sunset at beach that I never seen before. May be I will never at the end of my life. Very well work. Place, Angle, Tones and alliances of the colors so great. Good work. My question is; this the aegean or ionian sea ??. Many thanks for your share.

I find the correspondence of the sky and its reflection quite well balanced, Michalis! Neither the sky looks washed out, nor the reflection on the surface of the water got the signs of underexposure. An extremely well balanced lighting on an extremely well balanced composition, that breaks the symmetry by not depicting the reflection of the tree in the water (the usual way)! It goes further and creates another kind of symmetry - an "almost symmetry"! Which I think reproduces very well the general feel of some natural scene.
Your coloring is another plus here! The blues are dominating but not in that "totalitarian" way. The finest details of the tree branches, as greyish silhouettes against the sky are both striking and mathing that "almost symmetry".
A very good, very alive depiction of a natural scene, without any kind of those hollywoodian exaggerations that lead to nothing! Here the spectator is led into the very silent and real attitude of things.
