Multiple points

 My still-life begins as a mirror reflection of a kettle a hotel.  I liked the three angles of the corner wall and the curve of the kettle.

When the cup is added I pulled the camera back slightly and the mirror fitting is in view.  This camera distance is maintained for the other images.  The addition of the cup gives the background a perspective

When the second cup is added I chose to turn it the other way up initially to create variety of shape.  The darkness of the cup contrasts well with the light reflective surface of the bottom of the cup and the lid of the kettle

Introducing the glass seems to give a wall effect as all three items (2 cups and 1 glass are in line).

The sugar and spoons give the image a slightly less clinical feel













More colour is introduced with the milk cartons, but when the sugar packets are added the image begins to feel cluttered.

My favorite is image 6 which gives variety without looking too cluttered.
