When I paint a subject wearing glasses, I accurately paint what is behind them first (incl. the shadow from the frames). Then I indicate the frame last. The eyes are the mirror of the soul and I don't like to paint anything that obscures them.

My only other comment would be that the orange in the top background seems too strong to stay back where it belongs. Unless there is a problem with my monitor in reading this, I would subdue it a bit.

Otherwise, nice job!
