I love the light tent. I use one at work all the time. We make shiny metal parts and when I take pictures I need lots of light so I don't need the flash (no 'flash' reflections) and a good clean background.

The thing I notice right off the bat is the reflection in the lenses. I can see the opening of your light tent. I would put a half 'wall' in the opening of your light box. You may have to angle the camera down a bit, but the reflection would be blank, either that, or put a picture or pattern that will show up in the reflection. I would also open up the arms all the way so they aren't directly behind the lens.

The next thing I notice is the color of the background. It looks pinkish. This color, in my opinion, does not look good with the color of the frames and lenses. I would add a curves adjustment and try to make the background more white. But you may find another color that compliments the color of the lenses/frames.

The last thing is to try to adjust your lighting so it causes the least amount of color 'reflection' off the glasses themselves. The blue cast in front of the lenses and in the upper corner are distracting.

It's not easy to get a good, 'clean' picture of reflective items. I spend hours trying to get the best picture of shiny metal parts I still have to play with the lighting or the angle sometimes to get the best possible picture without any glare or reflections. Sometimes I get it, sometimes photoshop is my best friend.

Have fun!
