Big-time fill flash? Effectively done, too - and has allowed those colours in the underside of the leaves through nicely. Good light control and blalnce overall, perhaps let down a touch by that branch intruding so heavily in frame? An unobscured view of the house would make less of a feature of the branches and more of a frame, but these are minor points. Atouch too much on the big brght sunny day side for my taste, but a very well executed shot nevertheless.
Very saturated colors, looks almost unnatural and borders on looking painterly. I think it works for this image. The building is what I naturally focus on and I'm not too sure if the trees hanging overhead help to frame your composition. If anything, I find myself trying to peek through the leaves to get a better view of the sky in which case everything below the horizon or on the ground would be unnecessary.
