Lense Flare/glare off the water

[aubintbay]

Help!!! I tried taking a few pictures today looking back towards the edge of the falls to try and capture the look of the "infinity pool" when you look downstream. To the eye the sun was making a really nice reflection on the water but I could not quit figure it out. I guess what i'm asking is for this type of shot where is a good starting point. When I realised I had a problem I tried several different and obviously uninformed/unorganzed moves. There must be an "organized approach" to getting this kind of pic. I'm just not sure where to start and where to go once I start. The camera is a rebel xsi and I had a polariser on it.
