It doesn't have to be an either or situation though matt, you could try some diffused light from the front with a backlight to bring up the ice detail. I think this is a fantastic subject you are trying, I have seen various shots using iced flowers in different styles and in each case the commentary has said how much experimentation needed to be done to get the right shots. I think this will be much the same. Keep playing, trying out all sorts of ideas and things and just see what works. You'll probably have a photographic erueka moment when you get some shots that really capture what you've been looking for, despite not knowing quite what you were looking for
I am interested to see more shots as you continue trialling different methods.
