Bjorn your above sentence has to be the very best piece of photographic advice I've ever read,
it may seem obvious but actually it isn't.
Perhaps I'll tape the line to the back of all my cameras because when faced with a scene it can
be easy to forget what we strive for!
I'm curious did you have the first image in mind when you took the wider shot?
Either way it's mighty effective and like all of your images, totally unique.
Thanks

From spotting an opportunity to getting the shot is, for me at least, an automated process. I run on autopilot as it were. Later one can analyse the situation and try to understand what happened, but it easily is the same flawed logic as trying to explain a 'Black Swan' incident after it occurred.
