It might take some PS work to have the area of interest sharp with an "aura" of unsharp surrounding the interest point. With that said, a few scenes with a multitude of interest points will look better with all sharp; perhaps for editorial consistency those scenes are edited out of this collection. Clearly a case for following a well thought out artists statement. All the best.
