Looking for critique

Hi everyone. I'm pretty new here and I thought I would post one of my before and afters to get some opinions and critiques. I am by no means a professional, but I don't consider myself a beginner either. Thanks

You have brought out some nice tones and even got rid of the obtrusive thumb... Looks Good to me!

The picture looks really blurry to me.
You can get really nice details from it,as in my example.

Thanks for the comments. I don't really see any blur in this image, maybe because it's on the smaller side, but thanks for the comments none the less.

Boston0108,
Overall, good. I would prefer the additional light source in the far right be removed as well as its reflection off his head. The shadows on his collar are a little distracting. Maybe reveal a tad more of her left eye. I would agree with Aleksman somewhat, a bit more detail or a final sharpening would be nice.
