The beauty of photography is that it stops time so that you can go back to what happened, and re-read it in multiple ways. A good photographer like you has the instinct for shooting moments with many layers of meanings, so when you look at the final photograph there are at least as many images as viewers.
In this one I see the mannequin looking with envy at the people walking outside, living the life she can only watch.
On the left side, it could be a 21st century B&W by Van Gogh. On the right, it could be 21st century B&W by Salvador Dali. I like it! Especially the effect of the lighting on the trees and the cool high contrast look.
oh they want out, the poor caged animals!! the one looks a bit distraught and between her feelings and the one closest to us is watching the street goer's like a jealous child....just watch out because the streets are alive!
Great reflections, I think whoever told you that your photographs are two images in one may be right!
Nice B&W shot!

I think the B&W / strong tonal range make this a great shot. Nothing flat about the picture.

Absolutely great. I like the reflections (especially because of the wet street) and contrast.
