Gotcha!
Pixel = Picture Element. Blow up any digital image, and you'll start to see the individual pixels, or dots. Pixels are just larger with a larger monitor. If a photo is 100x150 pixels, it contains 15,000 pixels, or dots. Each pixel has a certain color and luminence, but contains no more information.

You'll still just have 15,000 pixels if you viewed the image on a 100" monitor.

So do you see shadows created by the chandelier or the cables supporting the crates? No. Because the image doesn't appear to have them. If they are in direct contact with the ceiling, their shadows would be much more pronounced and darker than the pattern from the crates. Imagine a sports player on the field at a night game.... you see a shadow for each light in the stadium. I see 12 lights in the 12 crates. I should see 12 shadows around the chandelier and the two cables.

Patterns are easy to duplicate in Photoshop.

Artifacts are little tell-tale signs of editing that can be seen in the original images. When images are reduced in size, those artifacts tend to disappear. If I could view the original image, it may contain those artifacts.

So that's your monitor's resolution. The pictures are still only 300 pixel.

If you guys want to continue arguing about a figment of someone else's imagination and something that simply doesn't exist in the real world, go ahead! I'll just have a cold one while you debate it......

I like the chairs! reminds me of my cable spool TV stand, complete with "channel locks" for the dial.
