I like the colors, and the reflections of the brick buildings.
When I look at it critically, I can't find anything wrong with it, or
much that could be done better, though there are a couple of things I
would try differently. The more I analyze it the more that I can find
to appreciate in it, but, I just don't particularly like it, and I don't
know why.

I like the mood, Sasha - not fond of square format for this kind of shot -
When I first saw it, my initial thought was that it would be better in a
horizontal format. I understand why you want the whole reflection of the
man, even so, the first thing I would do would be to crop it so that the
top of the photo is just below the shadow at the top of the frame. I'd
also crop the bottom of the photo about where the reflection of the
pillar, going up, furst intersects the pavement, rather than the puddle,
about even with the reflection of the man's right arm.
Another thing that I'd try is to crop off the whole top half of the
photo, just showing from the man's knees down. To me, the reflections
of the buildings, and the man are the interesting parts of the photo,
and the rest (the non reflected bits) don't add much anything of
interest, boring exposition rather than an interesting question.
Could we see the frame before you cropped? curious why you would change
the aspect ratio
I agree.
I'd also like to see "the frame before" if there is one. I think it
might also be a better photo if he were entering rather than leaving the
frame.

Would appreciate comments and con(de?)structive critique.
