Most attempts at such things fail. I don't know why. Some of my favorite
Ansel images are of those kinds of things, rather than the big landscapes
(though I like the big landscapes). There is usually a three-dimensional
aspect that slips away through the viewfinder. Success, for me, if often a
matter of luck. "Oh, that's not what I thought it would be, but I can work
with it."

Most of them, I think. There is are two pleasures, broadly speaking, to
photography: making photographs and enjoying photographs. They don't
always connect for me as readily as it seems like they should. Perhaps you
have articulated a third pleasure: making a photograph more enjoyable than
it might have been otherwise (without disturbing too much or sacrificing
too much the other pleasures).
