close up of my sunglasses.

tried to think of the simplest things that went together in a photographic sense. the curve of the contrasting colors, and the abstract of the glasses is why i enjot this photo. i left the reflection because i thought it added depth. i also thought the slight skew added depth.

canon 18-55mm EFS - full zoom - tripod - remote release - sunlit

this is what i came up with.
used the hue/saturation conversion to BW - search the forums.
- some levels adjustment.
- sharpened.

this is a very excellent composition. It seems like you fell short with the sharpness of focus though. Did you use a macro lens? If not, then maybe backing up a bit and cropping would work. also notice it is not a square on view. i think this would have been a bit more effective than the slight angle. But again, i really like the composition. -8

The reflections in the glass - especially on the left - seems irrelevant and ends up dominating my impression of the picture. There's a lot of banding in the white, or at least it shows up that way on my monitor.

I like the simplicity, but not the lack of focus on Okley or the reflection. Still this is appealing and I hope you do well in the challenge.

I like this a lot, but would have preferred to see the sunglasses withought the rectangular reflections in the lenses. nicely cropped and composed.
