In the end a 'street photograph' is only what people collectively think that term means, anyway. There is no independent Platonic object floating out there in the aether...
I like this image in how it's composed, and also the artistic touch of the person who arranged the mannequins. ^^

Christine, this is a nice approach in this fight for finding a suited definition for the "street photography"
Also agree with the recognition of the work done by the window display personnel

Many weak sides in this image, I'm afraid. Cut limps, vey tight framing on top and on bottom, this vertical "thing" that cuts the frame in two pieces, no interactions, no decisive moments, all in all not a street photograph

Hmm... nice dolls, a nice shopping window, but no Street photography - just a photo taken in the streets, which is something else. 
I know that there are Street photographers who include "traces of human activity" into Street, and yes, this is obviously a trace of human activity, as is almost everything around us. (That's why I hate it if people dilute the Street definition that way. Duh.) If I'd accept that exception though, I have to say that this picture doesn't evoke any poignant action, but just a lifestyle. So, within Street photography, it wouldn't still be very touching or gripping.
It's rather odd, technically I rather envy how you managed to get rid of the window reflections. But if you did have the reflections of people watching this window (particularly people who contrast with the lifestyle promoted by the dolls), that would make it interesting Street.

thx Eric.
Very interesting idea you put on the table. I shall consider it in continuation.
Reflections can be damped by a circular polarizing filter that I personally like to use for this purpose ...
Regarding the classification it's a permanent doubt to decide as IMHO there is no such thing like universally accepted definitions.

Yes, definitions are a pain... Look at any great Street photographer, and you'll see that he has sinned once, sometimes or many times against what most people hold as central ideas. But we can't do without definitions one way or another, if only to have an idea what we're talking about.
The dA definition is very minimal, good because we just don't want posed fashion shots or bland pictures of traffic signs in the gallery. Additional elements are context, shooting at close-range and interaction. These aren't yardsticks, but signposts towards a Street photography that's more intense and interesting.

Eric, I agree.
In principle you are inviting people to use reason ability which should be quite acceptable by the vast majority ...
It cannot however avoid surprises but it should assure some kind of "main-stream" tendency that, as said, should allow most people to flow thru.
Eventually we deal with art and not with some kind of rigorous science like mathematics ...
