Very nicely composed image. I like it, but the glow/softness is a tad overdone here.

IMHO, A way too much softness - totally subjective

Don't know how you did the soft focus on this, but it's really hard to look at. Not because I don't like it, but it almost seems to vibrate and is very hard on my eyes.

Very nice shot! But, I dont think a blur over the whole shot is considered soft focus.

A little too soft. Lacks definition and is somewhat overexposed. Great pose and background though.

The softness applied is just right but , the person needs to be more in focus unfortunately.
