Somebody lost his ideals...

First of all: that's seriously a very nice title! When I first saw the picture I already liked it because of the contrast between the colorful umbrella and the brown-greenish, dull background. But then I read the title and liked the picture even more, because the concept is great. I can imagine someone who lost all that inspiration and ideas, then just giving up and walking away.
It's a lovely idea and it makes the viewer stop and think about the whole story behind that shot.
I'd like to say something about the composition of the shot, but I'm not a photographer (more of an artist) and I don't know much about technique and so on...
But, as a viewer, I have to say this picture really caught my attention <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
