Rotated to correct horizon. Crop, levels, curves, lots of color adjusting for the shrubbery and to tone down the house paint. Yes, it was bright orange.
The house is a recently repainted landmark south of San Francisco on I-280. I shot this from a very busy freeway bridge and didn't dawdle.

The colour treatment doesn't really work for me. Perhaps using layers, you could introduce some more colours so it doesn't just look like a WB problem.
Interesting capture. Not sure what you did, but there are pieces here that look smudged and miss-shapened I think this would have been better with more textures on the building, and not so bright. Maybe even put the building underwater it almost reminds me of the 'Snorks'.
