Opinions Wanted: Filter or Photoshop

[CxThree]

I bought my CPL filter off of EBAY from Hong Kong. It's the Hoya HD one that sells for $225+ in the US. From Hong Kong, it was $100 shipped. If you don't mind waiting 3 - 4 weeks on shipping, that's the way to go. I have been VERY happy with it. I have other Hoya SMC and Hoya Pro Digital filters. They are all good, but they tend to be hard to clean. So far, the HD glass has not had the same issue.

Here's a shot without CPL.


And the same shot with the Hoya HD CPL.
