Interesting idea to reflect the glass in a curved surface - so it is the same, but not the same all at once. Aside from that the photo is not very interesting. No interesting colors, no dynamic range, the lighting is pretty bland. Perhaps a more contrasting background, or more of a gradient of light, or a more interesting subject to have reflected.

The focus seems dead on for this image for me, as my attention is immediately drawn to the reflection of the glass. Sharpness overall is good, as is overall contrast. The subject itself does not present itself as very interesting to me.
