I'm unclear as to what you consider a "sharpness problem"? There are parts within the image, mostly seen around the basket that are absolutely sharp, some may even consider too sharp.

I thought about DoF and decided to go with long just in case that was a better preference. I could always somewhat blur the background in LR.
