Add another highlight: in new layer, with white soft
brush (B), add a dot, then transform it (Ctrl-T) as shown here,...
then set its blend mode to... you guessed it, Overlay!,
opacity to 30-40%, and again, Ctrl-Shift-G (Create clipping mask)
Add another highlight...
...set blend mode to overlay...
then let's make another nice reflection. Create new
document (square, about 200x200 px), with transparent background, switch to
Shape tool (U), choose Polygon, set sides=4, then open Options,
check Star, and
set Indent sizes to about 85%. With these options, add a star near top-left edge
of image.
Rasterize the layer (Layer menu - Rasterize - Shape),
then go to Filters - Distort - Spherize - apply about 50-60% effect. Repeat if
needed.
Now copy-paste the star, transform it as needed (scale
down and rotate), then set its blend mode to overlay.
Another nice highlight: return to the original shape
layer with water drop, duplicate it (Ctrl-J), bring copied layer forward in
layers palette (make sure that all clipped layers remain clipped). Then change
its color to white and scale down a bit (Ctrl-T).
