Taken around 7:30 am. Downtown wasn't quite awake, yet, but the reflection was so clear I knew I had to take the shot. This is my first entry with my new Samsung NV7Ops. I bought it as a "walk around" camera and I am finding it does quite well.

something in this picture does not work for me, i can't really put my finger on it:
technically , your BW conversion is perfect, and the focus is great.
but the composition really hurt the image in my opinion, a wider angle perhaps would have given this more impact, the focus is too much on the manequin (who is lifeless).
But as i am gazing at the shot, my eye gets pulled to the man walking on the right side, and i wonder what's the story and what's the link. i read the title i get it, but then the manequin is not looking at anything, the man is completly off the field of view. so i think it would have been better if there was a person in front of the store, and you composed your shot to include him , that also could have had more impact.
as for content , you have a great idea, and with a better execution(composition) i think this could have scored much higher.
