Very nice, but perhaps it could benefit from just a few hard edges like davincipoppalag suggested? When all the edges are uniformly blurry and obscure, it sort of draws the eyes away from the picture since nothing's in focus, and so there's nothing to really draw the eye into the canvas. It's like there's no foreground subject in the picture. It could just be a few selective places like the upper edges of the eye lid or the corners of the mouth or the cast shadow of the nose: just something to pop things out a bit and pull the eyes inward. The thumbnail doesn't suffer from that so much since, at the scale, it looks like there are actual hard edges in the picture, but up close it looks more obscure than the thumbnail which is generally the reverse of what one might expect. Perhaps if the pictures are meant to be obscure up close, it could be done with some sort of texture or some painterly brush strokes. That makes it so there are new things to discover up close where the overall picture sort of dissolves into this interesting array of shapes and patterns and textures, but a digital blur/soft effect on an entire picture can destroy the clarity of it. Anyway, I hope you don't mind our suggestion: I wouldn't bother if I didn't already like the picture.
