I have seen photos that have a nice glossy sheen or shine to them when viewed on the web. I would like to replicate this view but in searches I am only able to find how to do this with text or icons and have had poor results trying to make this looks good and realistic with a photograph. How can this be done for a photograph? I am not sure where to begin.

Note: I am using Photoshop CS6 to edit photos.

What I Have Tried

Here is the original photo before I have done anything with it:



Here is the photo after I have attempted to add a gloss look to it:



Here are the settings used for the gloss photo:



The adjustments were done as Adjustment Layers and the Gradient Fill is Transparent to Solid White (#FFFFFF)
