Filters are information, so kind of like adverbs, you have to do the math. Does the reader need the info, or do you want them to experience the feeling themselves? If it’s the second, you have to show the feeling, but if you show everything, you end up with a 1000x close-up on a relatively unimportant detail. For adverbs, I can’t imagine why you’d ever replace “gingerly” with a detailed description of the behavior, LOL.

My enemies are: filters, speculative filters especially (“could see.” You’re the narrator; tell me what did happen, not what might or could have happened), past or present continuous verbs for actions where it’s absolutely not vital to know that an action started, went for a while, and stopped since all actions do this (it reduces all verbs to a same-y “was verb-ing” form that reduces the bite of the verb), unnecessary “began” for actions that complete, neutered verbs (substituting a weaker generalized verb and turning the stronger, more precise verb into a noun à la: “made a plan” instead of “planned”), omitting contractions from a close third style (artificially formal for a confidential, “close” perspective), and obviously, passive voice.
