The soft focus detracts from a very good look at a national event. While it's significantly flawed technically (focus mostly), the candid artistic impact is positive and interesting. Well done.
Nice shot, I think it's slghtly over sharpened though, this might have been an attempt to correct the fact that the focus isn't really on the boy. I'd recommend either a deeper depth of field or making sure the subject is fully in focus!
