Walter, I keep just about everything i shoot, unless its totally OOF then i'll delete it.
I have a lot of photos that i consider "just a bit OOF" but find i can use them in the annual fair photo contest as the slight flaw does not show up. The example you have shown woudld be a forsure keeper in my books.
