One good thing about photographing rodents (who, rabbit isn't a rodent, I had no idea O.O, well anyway...) is, it's very difficult not to make them cute. The little critters have priceless expression, big black eyes and all that is true for your picture, thus high vision and high impact, because yes, it made me smile as it probably intended.
Originality-vise, it's a standard portrait, nothing new, nothing bad with it, so I'm giving average mark.
Technical side is, honestly said, the weakest here. You luckily have enough light, so the face isn't outright dark despite being in shade, but the rabbit would probably look better on somewhat darker background and definitely on more neutral one - table and refrigerator aren't exactly the most authentic environment for rabbits.
The blur is puzzling me. I hope I'm not misinterpretting your artistic intentions, but to me, it looks like brush pulled around the rabbit (and not very accurately either) and then using blur filter, which looks really odd. The transition from sharp to blurry is too fast and uneven - normally the paws would be sharper then the body (closer to face), but there they are completely blurry and the body is sharp. Going around the edges also caused odd halo around the ears. I personally think that if your camera doesn't allow for sufficiently small depth of field, you'd be better off putting a white (for high-key shot) or dark blanket behind your rabbit and taking the shot that way, without blurring.
One thing to praise is the carpet, it gives a feeling of grass and the rabbit looks right at home in it.
Final word - pleasant snapshot which conveys the intended emotions, but proves that clever setup is generally better then post-processing.
