I beg to disagree.
The image does not work for me. With so much real estate out of focus there is competition with the scene below and beyond and the girl. And I find my eye drawn to the scene below by size, position in the frame, and following her gaze. If the image is more about the girl viewing the scene below, showing a bit more of her expression, gaze would strengthen the image.
I think this would work better both with more of her expression and more DOF.

That is the wonderful thing about art - two totally different opinions and yet no one is right or wrong.
To me, the image isn't so much about crowd other than to impart the sense of mass and curiosity from the girl's perspective. The angle is engaging enough to where we're not just looking at her entire back.
Normally I'm not for a shot that only a portion is in focus, but the lack of detail in the crowd is ancillary to the message that I'm receiving. It doesn't really matter *what* they are doing or *who* they are - just that they are *there* and this girl wants to get a better look at the commotion.
