Fun image! I like your front-on point of view. I would suggest just darkening it just a little, and bringing up the contrast. This will saturate your colors more, and generally make it more vibrant.
Well, if the ivy is defined az an experiment, the title is very effective and fitting. :-) LOL, I love this one, because of being so funny and technically very good as well!
Frankly, this -very- tight crop and the soft focus for this image, apparently taken at or around midday, do not appeal to me at all.
The delicious irony, however, of both subject choice and title are not entirely lost on me. The house, too, is one I'd love to populate. I do hope a poet lives in it. ;-)
