To much back ground. It is like the picture is two halves, a person and a gray background. I think this would look better if the left side of the crop was just to include her ear. The top of the crop just above the eyes. And then only about a 1/4 inch of gray on the right side.
There is no soft focus here. Soft focus has a misty character with the edges softened and bright areas turned like fog. It results of light difusion before the lens.
What a lovely face and look in the eyes you captured. I would have left the hair band off as although it goes with the necklaces I think seeing more of the nice hair would have framed her face even better
