The CP was used to reduce reflections and help saturate the picture, also to give the longer time exposure to allow water movement. The ND grad was used upright to hold back the sky, although after the crop (which I had intended at the time of shoot) its effectiveness could be questionable. I guess it still makes metering easier and is an old habit that I am happy to work with when doing landscape photography. It's not so much what you know as knowing how it will effect the outcome

Thanks for the nice comments
