There nothing wrong with the 2nd pic..
The use of polarizer is to cut out the glare of the sun
removing reflection from mirror and water
try using it in noon time

I'm not sure if you guys would agree with me. But personally I'd set my white balance again with the CP on. The 2nd pic is little too cool. Use the manual white balance.

hi fz5,

cpl is best used when the sun is at a 90 degree angle from you eg. to your left, right, or up (noontime). then only will you be able to see the effect it has on your pics.

I'm guessing you're using a Hoya C-PL.. Try to set to daylight WB and shoot instead..
