I made a few adjustments but not quite with your methods Kiki as my PP skills are minimal! ;-) Hope this looks a little brighter. CJ

Since you mention it.. :P I think I would have increased saturation of yellow and cyan, then take cyan out of the sky again with the layers "blending options" -> "blend if.." -> blue : 205/228 for instance. Makes the roof pop a little, and adds more sun. The sky and red is just fine as is. Nice shot :)
(For anyone who isn't familiar with "blend if..":
Select channel to modify with the dropdown (defaults to gray.) Alt-click the top right double arrow on the slider to separate them. Modified pic on top layer, original below.)

Thanks Shu! I liked how this turned out too although for this challenge I was wondering if I should up the "vividness" factor even more! ;-) CJ

I love this one. Excellent composition and great color which is topped off by a "perfect for the subject" sky! Can't get much better than that. shu
