I took this from my second floor office window. It had rained hard-then slowed-then poured. I saw this broken umbrella in the empty lot and liked it. Now that I see it on my monitor, I like the reflection of the bricks from the building across the street in the puddles up top.
Only edits were to auto correct color, reduce noise and resize.

I like your idea here. The parking lines add to the composition. I might have gone b+w to remove the distracting greens or cropped the top portion out just above the 2 large puddles.
I like the idea. The green clumps of grass are distracting, as is the piece of trash next to the umbrella. Perhaps a different crop would and some cloning could change that. Good luck!
