I've long joked that every photographer has a camera and a rainbow umbrella...(mine's less than a few meters away as I write this).

I really enjoy the colors here. When I first glanced at it a few hours ago, I was sort of wanting to see the other warmer colors of the umbrella. Then I realized, they aren't really necessary. The pictures works with its colors.

The only thing I might do is burn that background a little bit, or take out some of the weedy clutter (whether through blurring, cropping, etc. just draw the eyes away from it). Also, on the right (our right) side of the umbrella, where the wet part meets the drier parts it looks funny to me, maybe over saturated? Or the lighting is strange? That part is worth a second look.

Overall, I really enjoyed this image's concept and angle. The water's reflections really make this image, since they continue the color scheme.

I really like this photo!!
The only suggestion I have would be cropping the right side just the tiniest bit to remove the lower right water - where it's reflecting brightly. My eye was drawn there...you could tone down that water "whiteness" with a quick layer and leave it without cropping or crop using the same aspect ratio which would also remove a tad of the foreground along with the white water in the lower right.
Play with it and see....
