Similar to @anon42681393 but with perfect triad color harmony 
This motif lives on warning colors (red and orange/yellow). The cold colors (blue and green) are very desaturated and unobtrusive.

By the way, I plan to make an episode about color harmonies. May I use this raw file for it? This is a very good example of the color triad.

Absolutely! I’m honored in fact.
It’s a very interesting principle too - I haven’t loaded your xmp yet, but will later. I’m want to see just where those colors are in the image, especially the blueish ones.
@marter Thanks! It’s under the shopping centre in Queanbeyan NSW if you ever come past. 
@anon42681393 Thanks for your version! I like it

Where do you want the eye to go in the frame? Right now I don’t see an obvious focal point.
What are you trying to tell us with this photo? What emotion do you want to invoke?

Difficult questions
I think I thought (!) it was the kind of image which invites the eye to wander around, finding interesting details… but it would be better with a focal point wouldn’t it…
Emotion… I think, it’s supposed to have a lack of emotion, the same as the utilitarian concrete construction. Does that work? Not sure.
@age nice!
Here is one play where I used the color zones module to desaturate all color except for the yellows and reds.

Here is a different approach. I often like to relight my scenes by using multiple instances of exposure. Here I try to draw the viewers attention to the loading bay. Ansell Adams did similar tricks with dodging and burning in the darkroom to make the lighting in his landscapes more dramatic.

Stick a person in that scene, and it would look like it was done by Steve McCurry.
That’s another contender for favorite
Hello,
I tried to create an “industrial” atmosphere and to draw the eye to the unloading dock.
