Camera: Canon EOS-5D
Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM
Aperture: 2.8
ISO: 3200
Shutter: 1/60

Just had to revisit this to check the exif. It shows as possible camera shake. With a shutter of 1/60 at a focal length of 100mm that is definitely too slow of a shutter. I think the rule of thumb for handheld in low light is to have a shutter speed at least 2x focal length. You may be able to get away with 1.5x shutter speed. (I run into this problem all the time because my camera body only goes to ISO 1600!) :)

Fun moment, attractive model, contrast: check. Processing adds to the caught moment quality of it.

Cute capture of a fun moment. My eyes are looks for some really sharp details, but not finding them likely because of some subject movement.

I am voting this a 6 for great emotion. I am seeing either camera shake due to use of slow shutter speed which leaves motion blur, or a missed focus with wide open aperture and a lack of anything sharp, including the background which isn't moving.
