Quality time w/ the fam is worth the tradeoff for a shot IMO. I noticed that your shutter speed was 1/1000th, I'm not seeing a whole lot of action in this shot, so at 50mm you probably could have reduced that greatly in order to let in more light and lower your ISO (since you seemed worried about it being so high - I don't see any noise on my end though.) Was the shutter so high to freeze the action on the screens or something else? I think the logo on it's own has plenty of contrast, so you could have artfully captured just that bit, but then you'd be eliminating the story part of your daughter playing the game. Always tradeoffs w/ photography. ??‍♀️

I think this tells a nice story about some quality time with your daughter. The composition is good. To me the yellow and black Batman lights are on their lines and I like how you can see the heads of the people playing silhouetted. Nice work!
