It was very flat & boring, so I though people might like to see the before & after images - see below - and a brief run down of what I did (the beauty of Lightroom is that it saves all your history)...

Starting with the image on the left below as it was out of the camera
Basic adjustments
  1. Exposure -1.80
  2. Highlights -100
  3. Whites +60
  4. Blacks -45
  5. Vibrance +10
  6. Saturation +5
to give image 2 below

Then...
Adjustment brush on sky - Exposure -0.76, Contrast +57, Highlights -100, Colour H232, S63
Adjustment brush on building - Temp +21, Exposure +0.45
2 x Adjustment brush on bushes to right - Exposure +0.25 &+0.45
to give image 3 below

Finally...
Radial filter on building & reflection - Temp +50, Exposure +0.57
Radial filter acting as vignette - Exposure -0.57
and you have image 4

Simples
