Personally I really like this photo, though I would like to know the

opinion of others about it

This is nice. But I think your main subject, the girl in shadow, is a little bit small and kind of gets lost in the larger, kind of busier scene. I hate to give this kind of advice but a little bit of cropping may go a long way in this situation. But I do love the contrast between the razor sharp girl in the foreground and the blurry people in the background. Keep it up, man!

 

I like this photo too, with the difference in color and sharpness between the solitary girl and the other people. Very nice.

 

As for composition, most people look at a photo the same way that they read, from top left to bottom right, although they do that quickly. You have a lot of empty space on the left before the eye comes to the main subject, the girl. I think the composition would be better if you "flipped the negative". It is a very nice photo anyway.

i like the idea behind the composition - the flip seems to serve it better

On the other hand, all the empty space in front of the girl in the original photo gives more of a feeling of solitude or separation from the scene.
