Really nice and atmospheric. Love the layered look.
I only darkened it a little.

Windows 10 Spotlight verison - https://windows10spotlight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/81e799f35ba23b5bd7e71f8c2dd3718d.jpg
A great example of complimentary colors, orange and blue in this case. This is another photo where I used the Windows 10 Spotlight version as the starting point. They cropped out most of the sky, and I think it benefits the composition - the whole thing becomes more abstract, the footsteps take over as the point of interest, and they are much more interesting than the sky.
Other than that, only basic adjustments.
