Well Marton... it is working for me!
I have to say that I am far from being a fan of partial desaturation. But here, it is a good idea, though I did not see the original.
Photos of reflection in shop windows are far from being uncommon. It is not easy to be original, unique and having something new that will grab the eyes of the viewer. You did with this one. Not only because of the desaturation. For me, it would not be enough. What is making the photo here, is the two reflections behind the manikin.
So, here is my little nitpick. There is some blue cast at a few places in the photo, especially at the right bottom. I would suggest you to work on that too.
I might also try to do a square format, just to see the effect. Maybe you did try it. Crop on each side, especially the left side.
Well, these are only suggestions since you ask so nicely about my opinion! :))
Have a great week.
Claire

Hi Marci
Excellent photo from Vienna.
The colorful mankin and the B/W surranding make a nice atmoshpere.
I also like the reflaction of the famous Church on the glass.
I really appreciate the photo.
Regards

Hi Marci. Interesting reflections and shadowplay. Nice combination of colour and monochrome. Very stylish photo and something I could see in a magazine. Nice one! Regards, Paul.

Szia Marci,
fantasztikus utòmunkàt vègeztèl azzal, hogy az alanyon kìvul minden "feleslegeset" uniformizàltàl ff-ben. Ezek a tukrozodèsek pedig egyszeruen lenyogozoek ès szèdìtoek (jò èrtelemben!)egyùttal, hiszen màr percek òta azon godolkodom, hogy hogyan jottek ossze ilyen fantasztikusan. Ebben a mufajban szerintem ez a legjobb kèp a TE-n. Nem mondhatni, hogy nem jàrkàlsz nyitott szemekkel (:D. Gratulàlok ès kellemes hètvègèt kìvànok!

May i say Marci that, this is one of your most creative shots, along with the one with the cave (this is even more prone to the creativity scale)?
A screen and a mirror, found with your photographer's attention, and evaluated perfectly to create multiple possibilites of reflection.
A confusing and not easy to resolve photo, gaining further psychological depth with your excellent title. The mannequin is very sharp and Stephansdom is blurred, even this detail is confusing when you consider the optical result. I don't know how you managed that partial coloring, i can never do something like that, and it works well to draw attention to the brother and his reflection brothers.
The idea of having someone's reflection as his own brother is already a challange for the mind. Great photo indeed.
Congrats!
Deniz

ps: don't you also think that this kind of photography is much better than landscapes? :)))

hello marton
great composition. I simply love how only manikin stays in colour and light while other parts are B&W.
Best regards and best wishes for the new year

hi, marton
a nice city observation.
i like those repeating reflections and your partial desaturation works out nicely here as well.

compliments for good technicalities too!

warm regards
