I kinda like the main one as it is ;-)

The alternative I don't think is very good, but as I've said earlier, I
liked the reflection of the lights off the wet road so I'd thought I'd
include it. So I've had advice to crop the left, crop the right, crop the
bottom and include more sky :-)

I like.  The man in the umbrella is in just the right position and has just
the right amount of blur.  I'd adjust the levels so that it contains a bit
of maximum black.  I opened it up in Photoshop.  Painted some maximum black
in the darkest areas of the image, and then it really shows on my monitor as
having dark dark gray instead of real black.

Of course, I'm the guy with the hammer who sees nails everywhere now.  Gotta
look for maximum black.  That's been the latest lesson from my patient
mentor.  So now that I'm aware of it, I'm looking everyplace for it.  :)

This one doesn't do anything for me.The person in the umbrella to the right
blends in too much with the background.  I'd be tempted to crop that part
out, instead of the left part by the parking sign.
