Timing, and time itself, is critical for good images. Missing the moment can make or break the strength of your composition. Some subjects are immediately inspiring and straight away one can see images. Others work, but only if you've got the time to sit and wait - or even sit and come back later when the light is just right. Fuzzbucket's Lanes Part I post is a good example of that. Sometimes the essence only comes to you when you've been there long enough to know what to look for. And this applies not just to places, but events, people and still lifes/ landscapes too.
