P3D Focus and Depth Together

["Andrea Blair" <asblair@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

>>>>Eric Goldstein wrote: Stereo photography is primarily a medium of 
*broad* focus for all the reasons previously explained; primarily 
because with the reconstruction of depth comes the desire for the 
eye/brain to explore the scene comprehensively and lack of focus 
frustrates this inclination. The photographer must form his/her visual 
hierarchy only through composition, light and color (when 
applicable).<<<<

Can an image be sharp (in respect of DOF) and still be *flat*? Does DOF 
automatically produce the perception of depth in stereo? If so, is an 
extremely sharp but completely flat stereo image better/worse/different 
than a selective focus image that shows depth? If you (anyone) had to 
choose, what would be your preference? Any thoughts?
