<p>The simple answer is no. There is no way that a two dimensional representation can come close to being in nature. With all the tricks of composition and Photoshop, a photo is still only a record that can but approximate the view and few do that. The most popular landscape photos represent a scene that few actually see. That lovely early morning light is only seen by photographers. Colors are never accurate, not really, and often amped up in post. Why do so many landscape photo carefully omit any trace of human presence? It's always there, of only the trail hiked in on.<br /> Then there's the simple fact that the feel of the wind, the scent of earth or grass or pines or water is totally absent. We miss the sound of the running stream or the breeze through the pines.<br /><br /></p>
