Not sharp at all, but do we care ?
And sometimes you actively DON'T want it, as in some types of portraits and other images that benefit from a bit of softness. Sharpness is one one color in the image making palette, important to use sometimes, but appropriately, and not to be over-used. It's one of those things that you want to have available to you, though, because it's really easy to soften up a sharp image, but it's basically impossible to sharpen a soft one...I guess it all depends... some photographs are about sharpness (for me that's mostly macros - where you want to show some detail of a world we usually don't pay attention to).
But a lot of photographs are about the subject, about a person, about the expression on someone's face, about light, about colour, about a happy moment (or some other emotion), about a memory, ...
For those it's not really important to be razor-sharp... Sharpness can be the least important factor to convey any of these things...

A quotation from Un chien Andalou?? I keep expecting the razor.Not sharp at all, but do we care ?
