I think you captured the moment well and the exposure and sharpness of your daughter was right on. All the expressions of the other rowers are good. I'm not sure if I like the person in blue in the bg standing up with head cut off. I like this, but would have also liked to see one where you opened up a bit and included the person in the bg as well as more of the boat. I'm sure your daughter likes this one as she is certainly the star of this shot. Good to be a proud Dad.

Your timing was great in this shot. You can feel her accomplishment as you look at the picture.

I don't need to see the guy's face in blue. It wouldn't be on the same plane as the rest of the team anyhow. If he were sitting down with the rest of them, that would've been nice.
