I like my aesthetic for this shot, but I'm not sure if I like the execution. Is this photo effective? I guess all I really want to know is is it good (for lack of better word)?

I think the idea is really cool, I think the crop on your face should include both reflections and it needs to be sharper (I think). Maybe desaturate your face a little and saturate the sunset?

If I were you, I would take two photos (one focusing on the sky and the other on the glasses themselves) and combine the two in photoshop. I would also (as the post above me says) desaturate the face and saturate the sky. Cool idea tho!
