    Reflection: make something look like it's sitting on a reflective surface (object at an angle)

      I know how to reflect an object vertically, but that is not what I need. It's easy to make a reflection if something is straight on, but my object is at an angle. It was sitting on an actual floor, but I've cut it out and placed it on a black background. So now I need it to look like it's sitting on a reflective floor, while maintaining the angle.

       

      Let me include some example pictures. I just grabbed these off the net and flipped the left image:

      As you can see, it's definitely more complicated than just making a simple vertical flip... the object I'm working with in no way looks like it's sitting on a reflective surface when I do that. Is there some kind of filter or something to achieve the effect of the second image? Thank you.
