No, IMO a CPL wouldn't have done anything here - the reflections you got on #1 and #2 add to the shots. A CPL might have done a little bit to make more of the turtle visible through the water, though.
Question - why are you shooting at ISO 800 in what appears to be broad daylight, with no real reason to bump it up?
You raise the ISO in LOW LIGHT situations where a higher sensitivity allows you to keep the shutter speed quick to freeze action. None of these shots have much action, and they're in broad daylight.

If you haven't already, take a peek at the Lens Primer noted in my signature. It's for beginning beginners who have just begun, and it looks like you may qualify.. :)thank you!!! that is what I am looking for!!!!

The only problem with using a high ISO like 800 in broad sunny daylight is that it introduces digital noise and graininess. I can't believe your camera would have done this automatically, so I can only assume that you set it on purpose.
Adjusting ISO upwards is done in low-light situations where you want to use a fast shutter speed to capture action - for example, in an indoor gymnasium where the lighting may not be very good, and you can't use flash. Setting a higher ISO increases the sensitivity of the camera, letting you keep a high shutter speed to capture action.
There is a triangular relationship between Shutter Speed, Aperture Setting, and ISO that affects all pictures.

thank you! I am practicing,,,reading the manual sucks for me, I think (I am a visual learner) and understand better when someone breaks it down so I can understand, not a techie here. Most help for me has been this forum, taking some classes at the tech college and now a book called Nikon D90 by Corey Hilz, I am finally starting to know the stuff that is going to make my photos better....thanks so much for looking and the encouragement!!!!

My suggestion is not to shoot from a canoe-dangerous for the equipment! Hope you had protection for the gear, but on the plus side you get angles you wouldn't from the shore.

Thanks, but I am very careful with equipment...check weather and water before going out.....future pure is going to be waterproof housing...

Bunny, Did you play with the color brightness on pix 1&2
No, they were to stinkin bright because I was pretty clueless about my camera settings! Was just learning to do manual, ( from the feedback I got, and everything I have learned on this forum ) Would certainly bring my Iso down alot. Hoping I will get a chance again this summer... Did you check out the Picasa edotor???

I just imagine that the sun was just as bright as it appears in the 1st two photos, which makes them very realistic! Great shots!

Would have used a smaller number aperture setting (your f/#) and spot-focused on the ducks in an attempt to blur the background more to separate or isolate the ducks from it.
Still, good work ya got there. :-)
