A truly great smile, but the slow shutter speed or completely missed focus have left the photo quite blurry.

Even a slight tilt front or back by your subject can have you missing focus or causing motion blur at 1/25th. There are times when flash is the only real option, and this may have been one of them.

better to under expose than to miss focus. with the k5's dynamic range capabilities, you can usually recover a little lost light in PP.

I agree with above. Sharpness would enhance this otherwise compelling photograph.
