After reading Barry’s and Steve’s comments, I decided that they had some very good points, so I went to the drawing board and re-worked the image in Lightroom. I started with the image I original posted and cropped it. I wanted the crop to be just below and just to the right of the window. I then boasted the saturation of red, orange, blue and cyan. Finally, I increased the warmth of the highlight areas and cooled the shadow areas using split toning. Although I have seen some very interesting effects using the split toning area of Lightroom, I have never used this section of Lightroom. I think the overall effects make for a stronger image.
Thanks Barry and Steve.
You are right. This is a much stronger image. I wish there was a little more contrast in the colors.

Better photo. You owe Steve and Barry. My eyes are much more focused on the points of interest in this one.
