Interesting! I'd say just spend a little bit more time on the composition. The black negative space and that white spot on the very right are a little distracting.

This is really nice use of DOF. The in focus glasses just jump out at you. I love the colors in this.

Not sure if it's your intention, but they appear to be leaning to one side. I'd have liked them more upright.
