I like it; but I usually like shots were you feel overwhelmed by the amount of things cramed in a frame, shots that make your eyes have to bounce from one end to the other, trying to figure out what is what, the opposite of a composition "by the book". In this sense, a crop would only hurt this photo, I feel you should either embrace as it is or bin it. I hope is not so much of a stretch, but I'm imagining a series of shots similarly cluttered where a viewer could see a pattern that connects them all, making the effect more clear.
PS: If that didn't make any sense, it's late, I'm tired -that's my excuse and I'll stick to it.
