Extreme sharpness is indeed a strategy I often employ in large format prints. But there are other images where I subtly employ selective focus, and still
others, esp small format ones, where maybe there is a "bokeh" out-of-focus effect to the background or whatever. I've never been a true soft-focus lens type like
certain Nevada residents. But I don't believe in any one-shoe-fits-all formula, or any hard-nosed manifesto. It all depends on the subject matter and what I'm trying to achieve in the print. But when sharpness and detail are a priority, large format certainly has its advantages.
