Of note: these were all shot hand-held

Oops, just read the refresher rules -- I'm just so darn excited about my new lens. One more edit: EFIX data on Flikr.

I deleted two of the three pictures to comply with the rules. If you could ask specific questions to help guide the critique that would be great, if you aren't looking for specific critique, Share Your Shots is probably a better place to post.

Do you have any specific questions regarding the shot?

Otherwise, general impression is pretty cool, although the extreme lack of DOF feels a bit awkward - unless the subject is the bridge of the glasses, not the glasses.
The reflection is nice, but the red-on-brown disappears a bit.

Cheers!

I would say that you probably want to get a bit closer to your subject. Here we can see the whole pair of glasses and recognise them straight away. Typically, macro work will get so closer so that you see the subject in a new light - for example, if you just included the bridge and centre-parts of the glasses so it takes a few moments to register what you are seeing.
