Glasses look pretty good. The only thing I think you should work on a bit more is the background. Its a bit distracting being so close to the same color of the table.

How about some reflections on the glasses and on the table to give more sense of the surrounding room. Now it looks like it's in open space or something. The lighting in general needs some work imho. There's no shadows for example...

It looks pretty good, but I would still had more to the background. Make it look like it's in a room or something. Just kinda feels like you're in a very empty place, looking at a pair of sunglasses.

Still looks amazing, and is better then what I can do right now! user added image

I actually liked the first image best. It looks so nice and clean, and you focus on what's important, the glasses. Only with the shadows and reflections from the blue background image of course. Definitively one for the gallery!

Idea: How about some depth of field to help separating the glasses from the background. This way the background wouldn't be so important.

I like the colors in the first image and the overall look and background style of the blue image. Simplify the environment so the focus is on the glasses. Like kbrown mentioned, some DOF might help.

Also for an image so simple (in a good way), I would recommend a global illumination renderer. It will really add to the depth and realism of the object.

You can use mental ray for:

"Usual raytracing"; although I don't know about the benefits. Some difference in sampling quality/settings apparantly. Maybe some difference in rendering speed? And handling of maps perhaps. I'm not sure.

"Final Gathering"; using lights or light emitting materials/maps to "fire off" the final gathering rendering "method". This is way cool, and makes realistic diffuse scenes.

"Global Illumination"; Using light(s) to emit a given number of photons to wash the scene and with some tweaking, resulting in a realistic diffuse (light) scene.

And then a combo of FG and GI, presumably to save rescources yet get the desirable result.

I hope this helped you out a bit.
