    If the view angle is too great (and so, emphasising the curved shape of the object), you'll never get it looking perfect. If it's not too bad, you need to flip it etc... then do a warp transform to make it curve the other way... I think that warp control is only in CS2 though.

    To warp it in CS1... you can use "shear" (filter > distort > shear) ... this is a bit crazy/annoying, because you can only warp a shape using a vertical bending line, so you'll have to roatate your reflection object 90 degrees, use sheer to warp it into curving the other way, then rotate it back again.

    Adjust opacity, gradient mask it... voila!

    Good luck!
