Nice candid shot. Not very messy, but a good capture anyway. The blur adds to the moment.

Blurry mess = Yes.
Subject = Worth considering. Is a candid moment.
Technically = Not really a mess. Looks like some kind of brush selection happened on the hair of the blurry girl, like this was really out of camera. It is distracting and hurts the overall impact.
Abstractness = Nil. More of a candid.
Crop = Should have tried to eliminate the glasses and overhead light.
My vote is a 4 on this. The light/hair/upper-left corner destroyed the impact of an otherwise potentially powerful image.

Wonderful use of blur to capture the moment.
