Check out this photo. My question is does this photo have any value despite the technical flaws?

Here is the back story: http://www.npr.org/blogs/codeswitch/2013/07/17/203016331/the-40-year-old-photo-that-gives-us-a-reason-to-smile

Hate to do this, but I must ask;
Is this your picture?
If not, did you ask permission to use it and post it here?

I think by posting the link he overcame all those issues...

Not sure...but I am guessing.

It's a wonderful shot.

Well it certainly generated some heated discussion.

My response?

Absolutely.

Not my picture. The photographer did post it on the Internet and I do not have permission to use it. However, I do not think that is an issue in this case. Read the back story.

Every shot has value. Isn't that why we do what we do?

Absolutely has value. It is a meaningful, engaging image that captures an interesting moment. And the overall composition is good.

I'd much rather look at an engaging photo with some technical flaws than a forgettable, boring but technically flawless photo.

I'll venture a guess that this photo has 'value' to those who are IN the shot.
