Shot in a light box with two lights. One on each side. Two pieces of poster board for backdrops. PP was just levels, sharpening, Saturation. Two layers were used to create the boarder.

my name is christian, and i'm a memeber of the CC. if you have any questions about this critique, please pm me and i'll try to help with anything i can.
a very interesting image. techincally very good, with the receedihng lines of the glasses drawing you in. the texture and detail of the glass itself are well rendered too.
however, i find the colour on the background becomes overpowering and distracting. i think it may be the flatness and purity of the tone that works agains the image. with perhaps a bit more variation of tone in the background, it would bring the eye in to the glasses more, focus our attention. i also find the border very distracting to your image. it sets up an unpleasant dissonance, and actively draws the eye from your subject. lastly, i think the glasses could be improved by a little darker tones on some of the reflections. the midtones do tend to blur together.
so, a very nice image that, with a little work, could be outstanding. well done indeed.
if you have any qyestions about this crit, please pm me.
Wowsers! Quite the vivid presentation here. Almost, but not quite too much:-)
I actually like it. Very eyecatching. A nice take...and execution of a classic theme. Nice job.
I love the frame! (this is coming from a frame hater unless it's all black or white, too :-) Technically, this seems pretty much perfect. I have to try this sometime.
