While what you were specifically thinking while creating this is impossible to have witnessed this piece really speaks for itself. An alleyway is a difficult place to manage successful and original photography but you pulled it off. As usual the angel you chose was genius. This picture appears to show a struggle between life and death or light and darkness portrayed by the woman's pose suggesting a last and desperate reach toward the light, an endless walkway, and cleverly placed color alternation. This picture is dramatic if anything. You have a very warm focal point fading into cold darkness giving the viewer a desperate feeling relative to the woman in red. The texture on the wall and pathway only add to the atmosphere, making this seem like a truly surreal moment to be captured on camera.
All I can honestly say that I'd do differently is get a big of her face in there, to better represent her current state.
Is she alive? Is she to exhausted to move? Did she die trying? Or was she killed in an alley and is in the process of "crossing over"? Seeing her eyes would really bring this piece of work home.
