Hi Reto! Welcome to TL! Excellent use of partial desaturation here, I absolutely love the range of blues and blue shadows in the reflection. The textures on the skin and the smooth glasses are excellent, and they are brought out by the detail and the clarity of the shot. The desaturation also tends to go well with the blue and cooler tones (if you had desaturation with warm or red tones it might look unbalanced or "awkward", so really good idea to keep the reflections blue. Very good point of view that allows us to see multiple and clear reflections as well as the face of the woman, and nice use of shallow depth of field as well as natural soft sidelighting. The bright glow and shade in the background makes the shot more dynamic. Really wonderful, hope to see more of your work!
