I love the splash of orange, here. But I am not sure the colour in the building. And the open window is competing for attention, in relation to the hook block. Have you considered a mono version with just a slight tint of orange on the main subject? I think it would look great.
Best regards,

Martin.

Thanks Martin.

As soon as I saw the orange block contrastin' like this, it was the soul reason why I took the shot.
Your welcome to have a go yourself with what you say. I hate 'colour popping' like that, and is never a thing I like to do.

Well...I think there is a big difference between "colour Popping" and leaving a "Hint" of colour. But here you are, just to give you a idea.
I did take the edge of the orange a bit. And removed the small circle top left corner. (sensor grud or reality, I don't know)

I like the original.

I like that the bright hook is as if on the breaking point of the walls color. The upper part of the wall is almost BW.

In my imaginations the hook will give color to the windows when it goes up... It is not a static pic for me.

The original is full of subtle, gorgeous colour tones, so I prefer that one also.
Best regards, John
