this is a great shot just 2 things-

*there is just a bit to much shoulder in the frame, it give this strange apperence of the model being turned with his head correcting the turn...just looks slightly unnatural.
*the gaussain blur is a great way to take the focus off the back round and put it on the model however....u r comming so close to the model in spots that it is giving parts of him a halo...the biggest of thses is above his shoulder.

corrections-
have him pull shoulder back just a tad (if u want to keep the framing the way it is (with the shoulder) that will help it appear more natural.

*i don''t know if u have PS but if u do how r u out lining the person? fethering radious?no?...those thing can affect how close the blur comes to the body of the subject...no matter what the photo is of.
i would say without throwing a bunch of PS talk at u, just shoot with a lower ap. like around f4.5 or f4 this will cut down on the DoF that the image has and most likly put your backround out of focus.
if u don't have a dslr or a manual function just pop it in portrait mode and it should low the f stop for u.

otherwise this is about as good as most pros. portraits that i've seen and i think that this is prob. the best in your portfolio 2nd best is the blounde gal whering the white hat.

GL in you future shooting

great shot (once again)

Good portrait shot. Too much shoulder though for my taste.
