Does this look to blurry to you?

Grrrrr I thought there was plenty of light in our hall way for this inpromptu shot of my daughter and friend and didn't realise that this shot was taken with only 1/13sec You see it proves to me that what my eyes see and what the camera deems quite a brightly lit scene is too different things. I even upped the ISO to 400 to be "on the safe side".

What do you think?? Passable yay or nay? What are your thoughts on the pose? Should I crop out Chloe's hands. She was sitting on a chair at the time.

Any comments will be greatly received thanks!

Sorry to say Rachel, but it is a little blurry. Especially her friend. I think you did well for hand holding at that slow a shutter speed though. If I did it, it would look like an impressionist painting. Don't trash it though. The expressions themselves make the photo a keeper IMO.
I would also leave the crop alone. The more you crop, the more apparent the blur will be.

Rachel, I agree with Luke above. You may not want to enlarge it but it certainly would be OK for a 4x6 if it were to be printed. Yeah, it's a little soft, but you captured a fun moment in time, and that's also important

Thanks for the critique! I guess I'll keep it.
