In regards to the details along the edges - they seem to provide more of a set and setting than just a plain wood floor, so they seem to add to the shot, but I don't know if they really contribute a lot to the image. Without the details we'd know nothing about this spinning person - maybe they are hanging from the yardarm on a boat. With the details there is a _sense_ of setting and we know that they are not alone, but there are no clues that really set it in a theatrical setting. Your title does more to set the scene in that regard than the visual details. But, including them is the right choice, IMO. (One exception - the white bar on the red carpet is more of a distraction than anything else, since it is not recognizable as anything in particular.)
Since the details were left in intentionally - what is the intent behind them?

I have had very different reactions to this. The details along the edges of the photo are there intentionally, but not everybody like them.
