Not bad, Harald. It's a good street shot.

The visual tension between the reflection and the reality is wonderful.

I must admit, not being a huge fan of "street", yet I can certainly see the merits of this shot and how more is revealed in the reflection of the person, than the part of the person that is being shown in the foreground, that is until you start to look at what there is of the person in the foreground, to reveal such things as the marking on the back of their hand (where have they been?) and the fact they are carrying a bag with a doll in it (who is it for?), which suggest the person is a female, but yet the reflection which shows what looks like a buttoned up white shirt wearer, suggests it could be a flamboyantly dressed male - which all leads to a very intriguing and engaging image indeed.

I wonder what it looks like in B&W?

Bravo  :)

It is just so. On the other hand square crop to exclude the out of focus person and just show the reflection? All the energy is in the area but lovely shot as it stands. Nice.
