Photos
I think high contrast digital photos look good because online photos in context always have a background, something framing it. Therefore, these high-contrast (or shadowy) photos always look more realistic, like a bright room leaking light into dark outer world framed by the borders of your pictures. It could be the generic white background when you put a search query in Google Images, or it could be the classier white background with subtle gray fonts of Flickr. It could just be a window when you click it on your desktop, or it could be your profile picture on Facebook. It makes me just want to reach into the picture.

So maybe that's why I always have to edit my photos to be so contrasty...you're so observant.
Haha thanks! I'm glad someone appreciates my idle musings! I think I notice it because it's apparent in the more classy websites that obviously has a market in mind. By that, I mean the one's who are on the net long enough to be a little more discerning of the sites they visit daily. They demand more aesthetic in the things they now consider a part of their lives. [/end musings]
