A beautiful picture indeed. the glow on girl's face , the twinkles in her eyes & her smile.... every thing is just perfect. Love it, love it , love it :) = 10
Just out of curiousity, did u take an other shot where jar is in focus instead of girl? Would very much like to see that if possible.

very nice idea but honestly it does look little strange due to excessive fade out in face area while person's right hand is quite in focus. IMHO, if u apply fadding in a circular/oval fashion instead of linear centrally, it will bring out a main focal point and leave the rest to bit out of focus dreamy effect. With face on a side, the rule of 3rd will make it more appealing to many photo gurus here :)
Overall, love the idea and will look forward to see its other versions. I would love to see soft focus on face with expressions still visible.
