I'm one of those who gets wrapped up in details. Visually, I have a
critical nature and when colors or an image doesn't "look" right, I
obcess on it. Similar to when I critique a photographic image - it's
the same kind of concept. The blues aren't what they should be, white
are overdone, etc.

Part of the problem is that much like digital photography, colors seem
to be balanced to an average and not necessarily "real" color. Yes
yes, technically, it's real color, clear and sharp, but that doesn't
make it visually attractive. Sharp doesn't mean it's a good image and
that's my problem. :)

Picky, picky, picky - I know. :)
