Ooh baby, there is a lot going on in those old aviators! Wilson Bryan Keyes must be spinning in his grave! The nude on the couch looks like she's just been joyously ravished and the compass on the book cover adds a sense of mystery to the shot. The fact that the nude is basically centred and in focus, and not the shades, hardly seems to have affected your vote - top 30% is pretty good! I think too many voters are literal and simply want to see the glasses. Some would be turned off by the nude, others would probably miss her altogether. The use of Latin in the title probably got a few people googling that phrase too :-)
Overall a very fun and cheeky image and more to the point I am so glad that you went with a shot that pleased you, and you didn't try to pander to the DPC vox populi (see, I know some Latin too ;-)
I didn't notices the reflection until looking at this shot again, for the fourth time, I'm guessing.
Very interesting catch. I wonder how many people skipped right over it.
