Was there a street lamp or something on the left side? You've got a different white balance going there.

Knowing what I know about optics it looks to me like the moon is falling from the sky and a wave of ash and smoke is about to roll over the house. But also knowing that most people don´t know anything about optics customers will probably be most impressed.

The composition looks good, its a shame that the roof on the right side is cut off, it would have been nice to have gotten it in the shot. Overall I think you overcooked the image in post, if you toned the colors and luminescence back by 50% it would look more natural. I don't mind the inclusion of the moon but I think it should be scaled down to about a third or even a quarter of the size it is now to feel more natural. The parking lot isn't interesting, so I would have liked to have seen less of the parking lot and more of the sky. The burning in the clouds is too much. I would tone it back by 75%. Overall though you did a great job lighting the house. I think it is worth re-visiting the image from the raw file and trying again :)

OTT ,I don't know where to look, sensor overload..nice house.
