Scott, your pictures are good as they stand, but a polarizer will definitely help if you're going to keep doing this. I take a lot of water and fish pictures, and nearly always try to use one unless the reflections themselves are part of what I want in the picture. I just bought a new Sony RX100 VII and took it out on the river today, and there were a number of pictures that I didn't snap because the reflections obscured my subjects (which I could see because I was wearing polarized sunglasses). But my polarizer for this camera arrives tomorrow. Can't wait!
