My favorite movie candy...

I like how this photo turned out but what I like to know can I make this better by removing the reflection? I used off camera lighting.

With simple shapes you can remove the specular reflections you have here by moving the light source until the reflection isn't hitting your lens. With a complex, highly curved subject like this, you need to get more diffuse lighting. he simplest way to do that is some sort of small diffuser box. Here's an example of one that's nearly free.

Just put a white sheet or pillowcase, some tracing paper or something along those lines between your flash and the candy.

You could also try a polarizing filter. They are designed to cut down the reflection. I wouldn't try to get rid of it completely though. I think it adds a little depth and perspective to the shot. Looks like a great kids room photo.
