The Value of Sharpness

As to the Capa photograph, i agree. That D-day picture heavily enlarged, looks great although its motion blur is larger than the normal full-size enlargements I usually make🙂
However, it largelyu depends on the situation. In a battle scene I guess he used the best camera for the goal. But he also shot very sharp and well-focused images w/o any motion blur, of e.g. Ingrid Bergman, using a rolleiflex stopped down. Nobody was shooting at him...
 
I don't deny that great images can be created with elements of blur or unsharpness. It's simply that the images I am striving to create demand some level of sharpness.
