I think I'd darken the background a bit. Especially the lower left corner where the building is. Also, I do see a bit too much purple in the lower trunk of the tree.

Honestly, it's a tough shot to improve because the sky is completely white. PseudoHDR won't be able to do too much with it. Scott's edit is the best in my opinion, but you can see his sky falls to a flat grey. Short of replacing the sky completely, not much can be done about it.
