Greetings from the CC. I think you have managed a good range of tones in the black and white. The angle of the composition draws your attention into the photograph. I suspect there may be some marketing possibilities with this kind of shot, but my biggest criticism would be (sorry) but it is a boring subject. It lacks wow factor as they say in my opinion. It does not really compel me. As I said I think if your goal is to produce a stock type photo you may have done that. Critiques become difficult when you do not know the objective of the photographer. Hope that helps. Happy Shooting

Great concept - flying glasses. The shine on the glasses contrasts well with the cloud background. Framing draws your eye into the picture. Well done -a great shot and great editoring.
