As for what I feel about the image, I think the contrast is a bit harsh, I looked at the original and that's a bit flat, obviously because it hasn't been processed. I feel many of these HDR images look over cooked but sometimes an image needs a lift. The question is how far to go.
I am sure the colours are accurate but perhaps the luminosity is a bit high? As for the background it seems to be suffering from tones being compressed which are spoiling the soft, milky tonal graduations which make good bokeh.
Perhaps the subject could be separated from the background with a quick soft mask which would have allowed the bokeh to survive (and perhaps be softened further still?) and the subject to be enhanced.
Just a quick observation...
