This is a daughter topic of Tom's ice pictures here. So we have many specular reflections to deal with. It could be on a framed picture with a lot of varnish or behind glass or a chromed, steel or bronze sculpture. Taming specular reflections is an issue we have to face in a variety of situations.

Mark,
Only ambient light was used. The ice had different thicknesses, and this was the main reason for the subtle change in colors. I've found that flash can be very tricky to use due to specular highlights. Cross polarization might help with this, but have trouble thinking to experiment when standing on ice and the temperature is below zero Fahrenheit . This might be a great way of increasing contrast, however.
