I like this photo very much.
the thing I don't like is the blurry affect on the edges. usually it would have worked but you blurred half of her violin which is a key element in the photo.
plus, when adding a blur affect like you did, use a soft brush.. right now it looks funny that there is a clear line where it starts and when it ends.

I agree about the blur. The first thing I notice in this shot is the line of blur down the right side. Maybe try a subtle vignette instead of the blur?

I agree with the others. It's a graeat shot but the blur just isn't working for it.

I like the shot. I found the rope distracting. At first glance didn't know if she was playing the violin or the rope. Not so bothered by the blur.
