First Impressions

I can’t say how many of my best photos were shot with the very first shot, not necessarily the first of the day but the first of a particular composition or subject.  i have come to find that the impression of the scene or the subject is what draws us as photographers in the first place,  hence this is why we choose to photograph some things over others.  after looking through a photo shoot/trip i have noticed that the first impressions was the best impression, no time to think instead only time to act.  in the case of the above photo i had been shooting flowers, the river, the flowers and the river;  i had been bracketing and trying different compositions.  as i approached this tree i shot only a handfull of exposures but only one with this impression the one that made me stop in the first place.
