The opposite may have worked better, having the subject in soft focus and the background sharp. Maybe a closer cropping would emphasize the subject. It's better then mine, I haven't done a soft focus, yet.

The idea of using negative space has not been done very much here. Great idea.

Maybe people yearn for simplicity since we're constantly bombarded and over saturated with media from all angles and avenues.

WOW, this must be "Irene Month". What's the record for Ribbons-Per-Month?

Excellent! Great colors, Nationa Geogrphic had one like it with just red-cloth, I think Librodo has done something similar. So, there are many types of planes in the sky, too.

Just my opinion, I'd like to see more symetric, one-half of the nose. Slightly rotated more to her right, to lessen the curve of the chin. But that's just some improvements toward perfection.
