Very nice use of a limited depth of field. I like the composition, but I think I may have preferred seeing the focus on the front of the glasses, rather than towards the rear.

I rather like the irony that, for the person who owns these glasses, "light reading" in one sense means perusing a dictionary. I do appreciate the title pun as well. The fairly generalized unfocused areas suggest, to me anyhow, that the eyes are tired and it's time to quit.

Very nicely lit, I think Marc is maybe right though, perhaps the area in front of the glasses sharp would be a nice visual pun too?

Very good idea. But there's something i don't really like in the choice of the focus area. Maybe titling the camera to have the whole plan of the glasses in focus, and keep the same frame, would do the trick. Your call ?
