Talking Give me your Opinion

I just started reading a photography book,
(Galen Rowell’s, Inner Game of Outdoor Photography).
What do you think of this paragraph from the book? (pg. 26)
Give me your opinions. I find it very interesting.

“In this digital age, photographers are often tempted to take shortcuts to visual power by creating altered images of nature that never were before their eyes. As this straight-image success story unfolds, it shows us that the power of a nature photograph is irrevocably connected to our human belief system, rather than wholly rooted in the image itself as so many photographers, publishers, and members of the public wrongly assume. The tremendous public response to this photograph is inextricably tied to the belief that it truthfully represents a “real” event witnessed by another human being.”

Thanks.
