What to do?

I'm working around a little dilema. Well not much of one really, but enough to make me think.

I like the soft edges of my branches - even the dark edges of the under paint peaking out underneath. However I also am a lover of clean sharp lines. So which am I going to use. I don't want my picture be flat and so am trying to add depth and texture and so the softer edges work better. But I like the graphic quality of the sharp lines. Hmmm.
