Blurry image as good image
copyright Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin for The New York Times(hey it takes a team of two to make a blurry picture like that.)
Most people don't like out of focus and blurry images. They are generally considered to be made with bad technique and bad lenses. This rather blurry image of George Clooney made the cover of the New York Times magazine. If you are a sharpness whore, then this is not for you. If you are arty farty, perhaps you dig it. When Robert Capa's made his D-Day pictures, I don't think it's his intention to make them blurry. But I think Capa's images work.
