    also, adding something more realistic would make an impression. when you look at a real reflection, the further away from the source it is, the blurrier it becomes. creating a new layer, using a small gradient from the top to the bottom of the reflection *foreground to transparent-any colors*, selecting your reflection layer again, selecting the thumbnail for your new gradient layer, and applying a gaussian blur. also, adding a shadow would help.
