Contrast

 Oh, how we like super contrast! Our eyesight is deteriorating from staring on TV and colourful supermarket shelves. Tomatoes, strawberries and lips have to be extra red. Grass has to be intensively green for us to notice its beauty. Sky? Pure blue, otherwise it's nothing worth looking at. Clouds? Creases? Thank God for Photoshop! Isn't that funny and tragic at the same time?
  Many photos look better after increasing the contrast but we lose something else-details. "All the details in the fabric, all the things that make you panic..." Contrast may blunt the sensivity. Without sensivity you can't see the details and if you don't see the details, can you know the whole?
