Hello from the Critique Club!
This is an interesting image, and I like the colour palette that you have used: the bright reds and muted, dark tones work well together. Grain has been added well. Composition is fine, but you might be picked up on a tilted horizon and the floodlights on the RHS add little, and are a little close to the RHS to add proper balance.
Unfortunately my monitor shows up a little dark, but the subject's face is very heavily in shadow. This focusses attention on the rest of the subject, which may be your intention, but I am not sure why? There is maybe not enough of a "story" told by the image to hold attention for long, and it is not quite interesting enough to stand up as a fascinating image in its own right. While I think that you have applied the grain effect very well, I don't know why this image needs this treatment.
I think that as part of a sequence, ir with an explanation, this image could be much more powerful, but does not work so well by itself. Good technical skills though!
Good luck with the next challenge!
