Yangchen has hit on the crux of it. I like where you're going with it but it does suit my tastes. Remember, the idea (and I am slow arriving at this) is to make photographs for yourself for what pleases your eye and your taste and let it roll from there. For example, I will sometimes use the Orton effect on certain types of images to try and achieve an emotional impact of a scene that I can't otherwise convey with the lighting/framing I have. While I don't like to do it technically I admit that it often please MY tastes and gets the message I intended across nicely. Of course you should always keep learning and trying to get the image before resorting to post processing and use those tools and skills for whatever it is YOU want to do.
One particular thing that I would LOVE to see in your image is to have those lights turned on. That would be sweet.
One of these days I'll have to figure out what my "style" is..
