INTRODUCTION
When you place an object in water, it becomes more realistic if you add a reflection.  Here we will do that, reducing the opacity to further enhance the image.

MOVE 2 OBJECTS INTO PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS
From this web page (bzus.com + Neat Tricks + nt256), click HERE to view Water.  Right-click anywhere on the image + Save Image As + Desktop.  Keep the same name > click Save.  Repeat by clicking HERE and save Family.  Open Photoshop Elements > Restore (click double squares in upper right corner) > move to side to expose picture files on the Desktop.  Left-click Water.jpg and drag onto Photoshop Elements.  Repeat for Family.jpg.

MOVE FAMILY ONTO WATER
With Family visible, select the Move tool > drag Family onto Water.  If necessary, click Window + Layers.  (Both pictures should be visible on the Layers palette.)  Hold the Shift key and reduce the size of Family (drag corner inward) to ¼ th the width of Water.  Position at upper third of Water.

REMOVE BACKGROUND FROM FAMILY & DUPLICATE LAYER
Select the Magic Eraser Tool > click the white background (erase it) > click More (upper right corner of Layers palette) + Duplicate Layer > name it “Reflection” + OK

CREATE REFLECTION
With the name Reflection highlighted on the Layers palette, click Image + Rotate + Flip Layer Vertical.  Select the Move tool > move and rotate Reflection to match Family (use Arrow keys to fine tune position).  Change Opacity to about 25% (upper right of Layers Palette).  Compare your finished project to MINE.

CONCLUSION
As you see, pictures with objects on water are improved by adding a reflection.  The procedure given here works quite well.
