"Overall, most of the advantages of our visual system stem from the fact that our mind is able to intelligently interpret the information from our eyes, whereas with a camera, all we have is the raw image. Even so, current digital cameras fare surprisingly well, and surpass our own eyes for several visual capabilities. The real winner is the photographer who is able to intelligently assemble multiple camera images — thereby surpassing even our own mental image."
The article is interesting, but I think it all comes together very well in the close with the above quote. And I don't even think it necessarily needs to be the assemblage of multiple images, just the correct handling of one image, as demonstrated on this site countless times.
NOTE: BOLD is by me.
