Does your photo meet the challenge ? In my opinion , it does as there are many publications but maybe viewers/voters were expecting something different , having in mind newspapers.
I have noticed that you only have checked as helpful the positive comments and not all of them , so I'm not sure that you're going to find this helpful , I'm just giving you my honest opinion.
Your photo would have look better or less busy without the person on the right side , this would have centered the attention on the hands.
It is a sweet and quite magical moment you captured but the natural lighting was poor and the overall tones are a bit dull.
The scores reflects a correct photo.
Probably not what most would think of as "photojournalism" but it could be used in a magazine article. To make it more effective, you'd need a bit more light on the hands themselves to bring out the natural skin tones.
