and not only resolution?
also micro contrast?
tonal and color separation?

these are the elements
which allow skin to look and visually feel like skin
feathers to look and feel like feathers
flower petals to look and feel like they do in "real life"

it seems that many don't notice, or care about those visual distinctions.
that it doesn't matter if human skin
looks and feels the same as a flower petal or a tire;
in their photographs.

Contrary to what many claim
these distinctions are often visually clear to me
even in a good sized 1200 ppi, high quality .jpg on screen.

YMMV
