In this case "sharpness" unnecessary
the composition, tonality, sense of movement
all work together 
in harmony with the subject.

That does not mean, to me,
that sharpness is overrated; or a bourgeois concept.
In most cases "sharpness"
"focus accuracy" and "lack of camera movement"
enhance the "photographic qualities"
of a well composed and conceived photographic image.

The exceptions exist
as in this case
though they're few and far between.
