Street photography is one of the most difficult categories to critique because a principle requirement is that it tells a story.  And the story told is subjective to the viewer.  The juxtaposition of the woman with her umbrella and the red umbrella on the ground might have some metaphorical meaning or it may just be an umbrella on the ground.   

There are a couple graphic elements that the photographer may wish to consider.  First the woman’s white umbrella has a tendency to look like a white hole against the darker colors of the rest of the image.  Her umbrella could be tinted to a different hue to make it more harmonious with the rest of the scene.  

The red umbrella may be more interesting than the woman.  It has a luminosity that attracts our attention and holds the eye.  I feel we have two photographs here in one frame, as the title of this piece says “Boston Woman Seeking Cans” & “Red Umbrella”.
