I liked the last one, but this one looks a bit chaotic, probably because of the clutter of elements in some places. IMHO
Pavel Nagin, similarly – I like that one much better. But for some reason, this one gets way more votes everywhere, so I'm checking it out further... Generally, a wide frame (passe-partout) usually complements these types of shots well, when too much is spilling out of the frame, but for some reason I didn't want to go overboard here. There are interesting comparisons here, but there really are too many of them for one shot.

Pavel Nagin, Try mirroring it. Personally, I can't stand empty PVUs. I flipped it over, and the NMV looks much better. Too bad I didn't think of that right away.
Pavel Nagin, I also tried it... I think the right-hand composition is much better, but the empty middle still ruins it – that's the conclusion I came to.
Author, I think a step to the left hid it, but here it's revealed itself. A cropping option.
Pavel Nagin, I looked at the original photo – it's a classic, ruined by the desire for more of everything. There was also a blue element on the right, but during reworking I realized it was clearly unnecessary. And on the spot, his eyes must have been burning, his hands were shaking. That's why there's no take with a step to the left because of the right side. Now that you've noticed, I understand that these areas are unsettling, even though they seem to be drowning in the general chaos, but subconsciously they are.
