I often don't like the effects of the CPL if it includes a wide portion of the sky.  You often end up with a very dark portion with lighter portions of blue on either side.  That's what you have here, especially on the left.  To my eye, it looks very unnatural, although I know many people don't mind this effect.  I use a CPL with great caution on wide angle shots and at high altitudes -- the effects sometimes get out of hand and look artificial, IMO.  I use the CPL without these worries when reducing reflections from foliage within a forest.

Javed,  I like this shot a lot.  You have an artistic perspective, and the ocotillo on the right frames the image well and  helps move the eye up the hill.  I understand Stephen's point and agree to a point, but think that the dark blue sky contrasts well with the red rock.  I have my polarizing screen on much of the time for landscapes and have to think about taking it off when necessary.  It's tough to think of all the technical stuff while concentrating on getting an artistic image.   Nice job here.   Larry
