Seeing the scene

As a photographer I can see an image in my head without thinking too much about it, which is what happened here, it was the light that caught my eye first but then the photography part of my brain kicked in. We have a path that leads you into the image, we have an old post on the third, nice cloud detail in a blue sky and finally the lighting that caught my eye, the shadow area was flat looking so I thought well I did'nt think I just knew to take multiple exposures that I could blend to make the image pop. I'm a big fan of Scott Kelby and in one of his tutorials he says about working the scene, just to the right of this path is beautiful loch that I went to photograph but half of my images were of the countryside around it.
