I like it, maybe a little less blur.
Looks like the light we go toward when this life is over.

I wouldn't blur the forground. Less blur on top.

Well, I'd either blur the whole thing LESS, or blur the whole thing MORE. I think it's the contrast between the sharp middle and blurred outside that's a bit off. I like the blur at the top, and would like to see it applied to the whole image to see if it works. Might make it pretty cool and abstract, almost like a painting.

I like the 2nd; but Is the person cloned into this photo? In both it looks that way and I think blurring some around the perimeter of the person might help.

Yep. That last one does it for me. It's very well done. It's a keeper!
Nice job.

for me I think this would make a great horizontal or even square crop. There is a lot of dead space.
Great shot and fantastic color.

Rather than blur the outside I'd make a whitish transparent vignette to give it the appearance of a white light tunnel.
