Is technical perfection necessary for an artistically awe-inspiring photograph?

Question

What is your feeling in front of an awe-inspiring photograph (with really good composition, light, color, depth of field, etc.) but with unsatisfactory technical qualities (for example: JPEG artefacts, lack of sharpness, banding, noise, etc.)?

Answer

It's all about the reaction.

Nothing else matters.
