Reflection Fail - Oddity Success!

First, I saw this neat yellow bike sitting next to.....a puddle! (of course). On a sunny day with a blue sky, I thought I could get a nice reflection of the bike. As you can see in the next photo, it's not terrible. But, while I was taking the photo this nice, though maybe eccentrically dressed, lady walked up and began talking on her phone. With the red hat and purple umbrella, I tried desperately to get her in the shot. She was completely oblivious. This is good because I took a lot of shots. I'm very pleased with how this came out. The play with perspective and scale and color makes me happy.

Here are some other shots I took trying to get the perfect one:

What a character! Great color and composition with the bike.

That's Cambridge for you!
I've been trying to get your shop in a reflection photo, since I pass it every day. Just so you know for when some guy gets run over in the street holding his iPhone in a puddle, you can know who to notify.
