Took this a few years back when I had no idea what I was doing. Exposure is obviously way off although I think you can enhance making a desirable photo out of it.

Version 1 - built an HDR version using Aurora HDR 2019: two graduated filters, some increased contrast, saturation and vibrance. About 3/4 stop reduction of exposure and lifted the shadows.
Version 2 - used a B&W filter with a sepia tone, then added similar changes to those used in Aurora. Added vignette to get the "vintage" look I wanted.
