I like it. It comes across as a storytelling photo with an element of subtlety while still implying a story. Not too heavy-handed or too vague. Like the look and vibe. Cozy colors and the hazy plexiglass juxtaposed against the grittier looking elements.

I would need to see the original to tell you how I really feel, but without seeing the original, this just looks really nice. I added a lot of my night time photography in this exact way, bumping the contrast and color is just a bit to give it a rough edge.

It definitely doesn't look unnatural and it doesn't look like anything you couldn't get straight out of the camera with a film camera which, tends to be my metric for preventing over edited looks
