No one has ever looked at a photograph and wept because it was so sharp... ...of course many photographers have wept because a photograph wasn't sharp.

There have been millions of photos that have suffered at the hands of the sharpness slider.

In fairness, that's not the photo that was too sharp, but an unsharp mask that was applied too heavily. ;)

Using sharpness never improves a photograph, only changes it.
