Hi from the Critique Club,
First of all, congratulations on your journalistic eye. Sure, technicals aren't perfect in this image, but your timing and ability to predict the shot are what make this image quite a good one. I really like how you captured the expression of the woman in the front looking back at the trophy. Editing rules prevented you from adjusting this image in post-processing, but I think it would look quite good in a newspaper as a tight vertical crop.
I think  petrakka said it quite well:

With that said, I think you've done about as much as you could have for the situation. Based on your aperture, it looks like you were at about 50 mm (assuming you were as wide open as possible for the focal length you were at), so you were probably too far away to use on-board flash. Good foresight to maximize your ISO to get a reasonable shutter speed; noise isn't always ideal, but any more blur would have probably made this a toss away shot. (And in this case, the noise is negligible.)
Good job here. You've done your job by capturing the moment nicely.
Regards,
Geoff |

| I love the energy of this! Not sure if a paper would use it due to the "blur" but that's what makes it a very engaging, energetic shot to me. |

| the central focus works, but it would be better photojournalisn style if sharp across the frame |

| Not sure if the softness/blurring was intentional or not, but its a little distracting to me to be honest. |

| Great smiles and moment of triumph capture. The tight centred focus brings out the key subject very well although (from my own taste only) I might have prefered either a tighter crop when you shot the picture (appreciating that you could not change this afterwards) |

| Good group shot, the skin seems to have a reddish tint to it how ever. But it is great how much happiness is conveyed in this shot. |
