I know I didn't focus on this photo well, but the more I look at it the more I can't erase it, in my opinion it has a lot to tell
What do you think, should I keep it or throw it away ?

Very nice.  The juxtaposition of the busy foreground with the repeated images of you make it work.

Sharpness is not as important as content. I agree with you that the image has stories. I'd say keep it.

+1. You're the only one who knows where the focus lies, except LUF members, but they don't count as a public

If you are not going to blow it up to a huge print, I agree that it tells a great story and looks just fine.  A keeper.

In other photography forums, I would have surely been advised to delete it, but I like this photo and your welcome comments prove me right.

Many thanks to all the participants

I like the photo very much. It certainly has a story and possibly more than one. The tenderness of the barber and the relaxed pose of the client are beautiful, and I like the repeated self-portrait in the backgroundf as well.
