Ansel Adams pictures are 'fictions' using his skill in a darkroom, using his hands, eyes and a phenomenal amount of resources.His images were 'tailored' and individual. To me images these days have a look, a universal look, that is initially impressive, but on any further and detailed inspection, have an overall harshness, which to my eyes detract from any good qualities that the image might have initially had.

Obviously I am in a minority of one here.

Well, if your 70+ year old eyes are anywhere close to as bad as my 75 year old eyes, I don’t think we should consider them the gold standard reference.  I think it’s a bit difficult to make such a generalized comparison based on photos that you have most likely only seen pn your computer screen.  Could it be possible that the harshness you’re seeing is an artifact of your Eizo monitor?
