This photograph is something that caught my eye on my way to work. I was caught by the texture on the sail. However, developing the photograph to highlight that would have lost detail in a number of other places. To keep the detail in the shadows as well as the bright portions of this picture required a fair amount of work boosting and subduing the light at various levels. Does this sound unnatural? The picture doesn't look unnatural.
The reason is that when we look around a scene we adjust the "exposure level" of our eyes. We reduce our sensitivity to brightness when we look at something bright and we boost it when we look into somewhere dark. And we do all of this as we glance around a single scene.
