I find some of my best photos are when my "brain doesn't think". After all
the years of practice and pushing that stupid little button, sometimes our
brain just knows, even though we don't, when to twitch that finger.

Many images that are my worst were when I was overthinking.  And many of my
best are what you did here: point and click. I just never know, so I click
in both thinking and not thinking situations, much like many here...
Best in the new year, Jay,
Bob
