First see the original than the portrait. Would like you to give general critique on what you think.

The problem is that it LOOKS like you did what you did. I agree that the blurring over the face is not needed.

Captain, can you explain yourself with a little detail?

Three things that jump out at me.
1.) The original isn't sharp at her eyes; that's a must for portraits. You can do almost anything you want if the eyes are sharp.
2.) As was said, the blurring in the second shot wasn't pleasing.
3.) In either case, it SEEMS like you used on camera flash..she has sort of a "deer-in-the-headlights" thing going on...not sure.
Do you have a lens that will open up wide enough to blur backgrounds in a reasonable way?

No..it's not. Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.
On my shots, first cut is 100% view, is there good focus?
If not...they get axed immediately.

I think #2 face photo crop was over blurred and detracted from the very pretty face n eyes . I just did some fast photshop and this is what I came up with

Fairly quick job, but this is close to how I would handle this one.
