Thanks Norman for your reply .
I wasn't for sure about this and had to ask what everyone else thought 
I have to admit after I went back and took more photos , the photos was much
better without the UV Filter ...but I did have the hood lemns on and it was
later in the day .
I need to get myself back out there and play around today .
I really want to say 'Thank You' to each that has help me to understand the
different in the use of a len filter and not using a len filter .
Thanks again, Anita
>>I always have a uv filter on. and use the hood unless I'm using my
>>polarizing lens.but like Scott said" but that is the exception,
not the rule..." So i guess its safe to say what ever you feel,comfortable
with do it.
Yours Truly,
