Interesting image. (If it was me . . . . )
. . . . . Copy the reflection layer and flipped it vertically (and move up to the top of the existing water), then created a blend mask to make the new layer fade out as it goes up (bear with me). Then create another mask using the car image, reverse this selection, and cut (so you now only have a copy of the reflections over the car surface). Then change the blending mode to something like screen etc. (probably also reduce this layers transparency value).
All this would then hopefully give the impression of the water reflection light bouncing over the car body/wheels to add to the realism of the image. (Its a subtle little deatil that might "sell" the shot better.
Here's my rough stab at this (all without the use of the original image/files layers)

Sorry if I sound thick but I cant see the difference between my one and your one
It has taken me all day to change this to the right format to transfer.
I can't work out how I did this photo, but I'm quite pleased with it.

It's great psyberyeti now you have to go back and repeat the exercise until you know how you did it then tell me
Mmmm - As they say "the devil's in the detail".
I'm not saying my effort is a complete success (the water line needs some Z axis attention - ie the water line is completely linear and the vehicle has parts that would be more forward than others etc!!)
I also didn't have access the files various layers etc. etc.
PS: Look closely at the numbers (22) and the chrome wheels . . . . .
All I was trying to say was that the water (and the reflections in the water) would be reflected back onto the car and was trying to simulate this to make the image look more realistic. (to me it is presently very false/artificial looking)
Sorry if I've not conveyed this idea too well.

I'm not sure. I just keep prodding buttons until I see something I like. Hopefully, I will be able to plan what I do someday, but it seems very far off at the moment. Some times it is easier just to use Picassa (which you put me on to and for which I am very grateful). That's an excellent, simple tool when you need it just for tweaks and straightening.
I liked your idea on the reflection tweak on the car. It just takes it that bit further.

Here are a few more fun pic
@ Psyberyeti, well spotted with the water trees :-)
@ Scout, it might look even better when you would have choosen a white background to go with it??? Clever pagecurl effect though!
Here is one I prepared earlier ;-))
I called it: "Harvest Moon" I know, I know.... I have got this moon thing going on :-)

She's saying "Where's the moon? My dad says some bar steward has stolen it".
or "What mountain"
or "It's a bit of a grey day"
or "All they way out here and I have to stand in a pile of elephant poo!"
or the dreaded "Change nappy now!!"
or..., oh I can't think of anymore, but there must be loads of captions for this photo.
