The eye can see much more detail in shadows and highlights than can film. The zone system and the manipulations in the darkroom are in part to compensate for the flim/paper's lack of dynamic range that the eye has. Of course, one can go beyond this and emphisize things and diminish others and I guess this is the "art" in photography.
