Definitely see it here and its good you posted a crop since you can see the DoF starting to really fall off starting from his shoulders. There\'s may be a very subtle transition happening before the shoulders and the area in focus.
Also, looking over some samples with the Z* 35/1.4 I see this effect with it wide open which once again points the transition of blur. Its a great character in a lens for photography of people.
Another commonality I may be seeing is in the light. It seems like softer directional light that tapers off slowly adds to the effect of volume for round objects.
