This is not really a good place to use a polarizer - that said, I don't think it made any difference at all. Good post processing will fix this image greatly !
Ditto. The polarizer works best when the sun is 90 degrees to the left or right of you as you shoot. It looks like you're slightly underexposed is all.

Look through the filter and rotate it at your scene. If you see a difference, that should tell you whether or not you want to use it.

I agree with Jr1. It is a really good picture but with a little evening out the color on the neck with a photo shop, it would make the bird's neck lighten a bit. It is really lovely.

Using Corel's PaintShop Pr x4 for a quick-fix....
I don't know if that's the result that looks OK to you, but I'm sure you can do better with the original than I was able to do with a simple off-screen copy.
Shooting in raw mode offers more after shot tweaking, and I'm finding that with digital photography, after shot tweaking is nearly mandatory. Some cameras handle the conversion to jpeg better than others, but they all seem to need some attention.
(I miss the quality of film)

I have the same lense. I don't use filters but you seem to have mastered this. Great shot but with the lighting available this would be the best any one could do.

I opened up the shadows and did a slight color correct and it looks great. So with the info we have been given to get it right in the first place , it will help us all a lot. For this picture...just a slight adj. and you have a wonderful keeper shot! Cheers!
