Foreground looks good but the hut looks backward tilted.

Maybe a closer crop of just the front of the hut shows as background with all the flowers in front.

The white on the door and the red of the flowers looks a little off to me. Maybe too much sharpening, as mentioned above, or too much contrast?

Here's a quick edit, I toyed with the hue/saturation and added a little more yellow in.

Thanks, everyone for your help
I like the added yellow, it makes it look more natural

From your original I'd brighten a bit and I like the sharpness you applied. I wonder how it would look if you could see the entire roof?
