First and most important, I made sure that the photo was in focus by turning off the stabilization on the lens. Secondly, I replaced the white reflector on the camera right side by a second softbox. Thirdly, I rotated slightly the mug and the kettle to create a better definition of the handles. I strategically place black foam cores around the setup to eliminate spurious reflections on the mug from the table and the wall. Finally, I spent an inordinate amount of time cleaning up dust particles all over the mirror.

Thanks. I'm trying to overcome inertia in order to start working on things like this, and your procedures are helpful.

BTW, I stumbled on a procedure for removing lots of dust spots. I was interested in it because I do a little restoration of very old photos, which typically have lots of small white spots. Warning: it's complicated, and I honestly don't know what it's doing. I managed to get it to work once, but it failed the second time I tried.
