This is simply an awesome shot. The staggering of the two sizes of glasses adds interest, I think, and the different "types" or shapes of glasses really adds a sense of randomness that adds context to the shot for me. It's almost like they are sitting on a bar or counter, waitign to be used. The off-levelness of it is a bit disconcerting, but i see in you comments why that is done that way.
Very well done focus and lighting. I am very impressed that hte reflections are as well focused as the "originals." Also, the light reflections are okay with me. They are glasses. Glasses reflect. If you could have prevented that, I think it would have looked unnatural. Better reflections than fingerprints and smudges.
This is a very elegant shot. I think the black and white works very well, though I think color (either by lights or in post processing) could be used to sit various moods effectively. Nicely done.
