well, i know this is a question of personal taste, and i am usually not much into this kind of softness anyway, but this one here is probably too soft by many standards.
it makes the eyes stick out of thesoftness in a very freaky manner, looks very unnatural to me.
I would never apply selective softness/sharpness with such a sharp border between them.
also, the empty space on the left does not do anything for me.. or is it to have space for some text?
