wider DOF, so that could read the words clearly
my 2 cent

DOF too shallow.
Cup handle cropped, if u wanna have this kinda view, either find a cup without that handle, or turn it around to hide it, else show in its entirety.
Angle look like the cup is going to drop anytime, check alignment, and use a tripod.
Tissue paper or cloth look disgusting... a piece of plastic would look better.
Water droplets on the side of the cup is distracting, does not add asthetic to the picture instead show a messy job. Either you clean up the cup, or you use a dropper and use a more viscous solution to drop on the side of the cup to create the effect. Sugar syrup, clear epoxy, 3M studs are good example...
