I have something for CPLs these days. But will a CPL be helpful with your first picture?
The Illawarra Flame Tree (Brachychiton acerifolius) in the SBG is blooming.
Went to shoot it yesterday. As I always maintained, buy the biggest flash you can afford, better still get more than one, and bring them along as you never know when you needed light.
And I knew it was a good thing to hang on to Benny's EF 24/1.4L, the perfect glass for shooting backlit trees in difficult lighting.
The tree itself was shot with the 24/1.4L wide-angle lens and flashed, because the sun was behind the tree.
The close up of the flowers are taken with my workhorse 100/2.8 macro.

It will probably help a little, but this is overcast day, not sunny. Will still need to flash to fill out the backlight. Unfortunately I have a 72mm CPL but the 24/1.4 is 77mm, plus I forgot to bring it along

I have some 77 mm Circular Polarising Filters if you need it.
Is the flash sufficient to fill for such a large subject?
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
ahhh let me see if I can find the ones without flash, would be an interesting photography discussion.
