It does look overprocessed, and the vignette doesn't seem to really add much to the image (intrude instead). The frame also seems a bit on the tight side. What kinda "bothers" me most in this one is that the story seems rather weak (or confused?). There's the man, supposedly napping, and the bike, and a bunch of prominent architectural elements (brick road, bench, decorative wall, ironwork, plus grates and plywood). In particular, what do the man and the bike have to do with each other, or, why are they together in this picture? The way the picture is framed, it would seem there's a reason for it, but it is not apparent (to me). The angle you used, also, eye-level, is a bit uninspired.
So to answer your question in the thread, is it worth reworking. Well, I would say probably not. It's quite a beautiful snap, much better than your average snap, but it still is a snap. And I don't mean that at all to offend, it is just my assessment on how it might be perceived at an art photography site.
