The background really shows the lonesome. I was thinking, perhaps b&w would be better?
the riser (is that what you call it?) seems to tilt towards left.
maybe can try rotate a little and crop off?
Colors are flat, and to show the loneliness, going further would help to contrast it against the blank surrounding. B&W may help, but waiting for better light for this color photo would improve the photo more.
Yes, it will help, but that will distract from the loneliness. The real solution is to wait for better sunlight.
hmm..maybe underexpose a little? also show "darkess" of it's duty =))

Happy shooting! ^^
good shot, but it would be way better if the hydrant is much more older and rusty. the rust would really make the picture more artistic.
