There's only one problem I can see with the image:  there's a little ghost
happening from where your image has been placed... you probably really need
to do another map to make the areas that are transparent, also void of any
diffuse and specular/phong highlight values - that should eliminate the
problem completely (though it's hardly visible anyway).

Also, you mentioned you had some trouble lining it up... as a pointer for
people that want to do some more of this kind of thing, set some marker dots
out, 3 or more on the same plane and one perpendicular to the plane (for
example, 3 dots at known positions on the floor, and one on the wall
vertically above one of the other dots).  This will help greatly when
working out the exact perspective and allows you to create a virtual set of
the market dots with which to align to the real dots.

Nice image :)  If you want to post-process it some more to try some
different effects, you could make it even more thematical by desaturating
everything on the front side of the mirror, or giving it a dark blue cast
(or dark blue but only in the lower end, i.e. raise the blue channel values
but only for the blues below 30 - this will give the entire image a cool
deep blue cast, which would contrast well with the heart's hot colour).
