Why do some feel this subliminal obligation to total sharpness? Outwith technical, industrial, applied photography, where infinite DOF is sometimes an aim, I generally feel that having different levels of crispness across a picture is far more satisfying and allows the added advantage of placing the area of intererst (to the snapper) exactly where he chooses.
Especially in flower piciures in this style; everybody knows that the soft zones are but more of the same as the sharp zones; where's the problem, it's just an artist's decisĀ”on.
Nice idea.
