I agree with Dierk, you have the right idea with a forground object and show good composition skills by positioning it so the angles lead your eye into the frame towards your main subject, the lights on the building. I think the problem here is not your choice of foreground subject, but its size. I think if I were to re-shoot this scene, I would stand a little more to the right and get up on top of a bench or a car or anything (assuming its possible at the location). That way you could show about half that much flower box in the frame, the lighted building would become the largest object in the frame and really have a commanding presence, and you could eliminate some of the sky which is currently a little overpowering as a negative space. I think you've chosen the perfect time of day for this shot and the exposure is dead on. Good color saturation as well. If you have the opportunity to re-shoot, experiment! :-) I think a little composition adjustment would take this image from great to amazing!

Having a foreground-object is often a good idea, but these flower-boxes do not look very nice. They drag my eyes away from the main object - the illuminated house. people`s silhouettes might have been a better choose.
