"Sharpness is a bourgeois concept"

[DownUnder]

Just now I have discovered this thread. Obviously I have been hiding under a rock all this while.

Darn it. Now I have to go to page one and start looking...

Good one, OP. And from what I've seen, some truly magnificent images to be enjoyed.

But then I am so obviously a bourgeois as well...

And BTW in French Canada "bourgeois" is a quite common family name.

Sorry if I already published this photo in this thread (I have absolutely no memory((( )
But there are a couple of thoughts about such a very ephemeral concept as sharpness.
I need to try to formulate it)))
