Have you tried a polarizer? Don't know if you could actually use one with digital cameras, but I don't see why not. You could just hold it in front of the lens and turn it to your liking, but you lose about 2 f-stops. I used the heck of a 52mm one on my beat up old Nikon F.
Polarizing filters are used mostly to make a hazy sky darker blue, and reduce reflections when shooting windows, (for those born after the time when people used shiny strips of materiel called "film.")
