I think this is an amazing image! I like the placement of the main subject in the bottom right corner and the blue/red colour scheme. The out of focus, people in the background have an impressionist/painterly feel which I find really beautiful. It would be interesting to see this photo without the grain and maybe in b&w, although I think losing the blues and reds would actually detract from the photo. This is one of those images I could look at again and again. There is actually a great impressionist image 'lurking' in the top of this photo. Just thinking, if you cropped just under the skates of the man with the blue jumper around his waist, then cloned out the girls head and the 'half' man on the right......hmmmmm.

I feel hypnotized. ^_^
I I like the simplicity of the colors. Just white, black and red.

Something compositionally discomforts me here; perhaps that she seems to have no space to move into. Whilst the intriguing bokeh and motion in that background is interesting, she - because of the focus - remains the true subject and you've relegated her somewhat. As to the grain ... I'm not sure what it adds to this, why it's relevant.
