Focus. It is probably the most critical trait of a high-quality photographic image.
You can have the most beautiful scene, object, or subject within your camera frame. But if it’s not in focus, then you have nothing. (Unless you’re getting artsy like a Monet painting.)
If an image is almost in perfect focus, you can add a bit of sharpness using your post-processing software like Photoshop, Lightroom, etc. If the focus is way off, then your post-processing cannot salvage the file.
There is tons of advice out there on the Internet on how to get sharply focused pictures.
