[Leica] Opinions Wanted: Sharp or Fuzzy?

[Don Dory]

I believe that the fuzzy will work better if they are sharp/unsharp like
scanned-652.  It might take some PS work to have the area of interest sharp
with an "aura" of unsharp surrounding the interest point.

With that said, a few scenes with a multitude of interest points will look
better with all sharp; perhaps for editorial consistency those scenes are
edited out of this collection.  Clearly a case for following a well thought
out artists statement.

All the best.
