The overall composition of this piece is very good. You have lots of darks and lights and they're balanced so no one side is too heavy.

But you've oversaturated it! D: The sharp reds and blacks can be nice in some instances, but the highly contrastive tones in this piece (red, black, yellow) make it hard to look at it for long without feeling overwhelmed. It's a little jarring, especially to sensitive eyes.

When working with textures in photographs, grungy textures look best when they're subtle, but you've used grunge textures in high contrast here, putting it in the blacks . It looks very good on the face because red and skintone are close enough together that the sutbleness looks like aged paper. But you've also put black textures on top of bright orange, and it creates a hole in the picture. My attention is drawn to the grungy black textures, but they're not interesting to look at and they don't easily guide. the eyes anymore.

The umbrella is too lost in all the colors. Because everything is so red, it's hard to find an interesting place because everything is all the same. While unity is important, variety is also important. The red draws the eyes away from the focal point (face) and the viewer quickly loses interest in the image.

There's so much potential in this picture that can come out if it just wasn't so Imma-throw-the-sun-in-your-face. You can make it rain sun without burning the people watching.
