Not just for the sake of argument but I'd like to disagree with some of our more
eminent members here and say that I think a sharp foreground is more important
than a sharp background although a sharp background is usually pretty easy to
get. I think  your eye goes to the bottom of a picture after seeing the main
subject. A soft background we can forgive easier than a soft foreground.
Textures are bigger and right in front of you in the forground. I feel a little
sheepish saying this as am in general awe of the people who are saying pretty
much the opposite. I don't know where I get my ideas from. Maybe I made them up
and I am wrong. But I feel pretty strongly about them.
