I've looked again and it is kind of typical of a fault I have in low 
light focussing and framing.

She's a kid, and a moving target. With a rangefinder I focus by placing 
the patch over her face (thus a dead center composition) and then try 
and 1) re-frame and 2) steady myself to get the shot off 3) before she 
moves again.

Quite often I don't "re-frame" enough, worried about losing the subject, 
I stop too soon and fire.
