Yes, I do indeed need to look into getting a good set of ND filters. They are now on my list of tools to acquire. Thanks Heinrich!
This is the first time I have not been able to get to 'where I wanted' in camera - I agree that one should get the image right in camera first - that's the first principle of rendering a good image. ISO was the slowest and aperture was fully stopped down. I was stunned at how much ambient light there was in this situation given the day was overcast and there was still remnants of fog floating about. Any shutter speed fast enough to 'freeze' the water had a large amount of lens flare that made the image unacceptable - at least in my opinion.
Yes - a polarizer would have helped here. Unfortunately the only one I own and tested greatly reduced the image sharpness. I do need to invest in a better polarizer - this is already on my list :-)
Thank you everyone for your insights.

Oh ya, I have a lens like that. The Pentax 28-200 which is a Tamron rebrand, which is good enough for images reduced to 4k (3840x2160) but you don't want to pixel peep it. Great focal length, great price, but rarely used.
