Perfect composition, and processed beautifully . .

I reckon this shot she be retitled 'Christmas Blend' . . this is both to reflect the Starbucks she is holding, and to reflect the whole scene taking place around her that shows the 'Christmas 'blend' we all face .

The faces behind the girl could represent a band of Angels giving the simple story of Christmas, a message of hope for the world away from the urgency and demands of everyday life - a higher vision and motive to aspire to, away from that which is here today - and gone tomorrow. While the manequin in the green dress (green in this case representing envy) appears to be showing her a sack of beautifully wrapped shiny presents - standing slightly aloof, suggesting the girl has to choose to go over to her if she wants to - while the girl herself stares out of shot, looking lost in thought and possibly slightly vexed, as if not knowing which way to go . . and trying to turn her back on both options.

Many people seem to find themselves in her position each Christmas . .

Nice shot.
