I certainly agree with you Tina...

wonderful images that show how to use (usually bw) filters...

however, I don't think that they are examples that address the  
question...ie  the ones that are great,  don't need the filter...

(yes,  it might assist in some cases)

they do exaggerate what is there...

(and sometimes (rarely)  too much...)
