Rick, if you and I were in a pub and I was on my second pint of your local's best I would point out that the value of your first photograph has increased immeasurably because you'll never be able to improve it. Your second photograph, I would suggest, is the more powerful because it portrays what's been lost. Your third photograph, I feel should be deleted. It's much too clinical, like a police photo from a car crash.
And after a third pint I might concede that your original point however is still valid...
Solid advice! The image you made of the tree before it fell is beautiful.
Another reason I force myself to make the image instead of walking by is there's no guarantee that there's a better shot waiting down the trail. If you are presented with a gift, take it. There may be nothing else up ahead.
Thank you for the advice. I could absolutely learn to “seize the day.” I know I can often wait for perfection or second guess myself. (I am a novice photographer)
Thank you for the reminder to appreciate what is and to seize the day! I often regret missed opportunities of capturing a place or a moment that will never be again. But the present is always right here right now and there is always something in it worth capturing.

Thanks Steve, I like your analysis 👍🏻

Thank you Eric.
I've had the same experience, shots missed because of the 'do it later' gremlin. Then you can't because it isn't there anymore.
That shot has beautiful light.
Thank you Andrew. I still miss plenty of opportunities not following my own advice.
This is so good!✨

Thank you
Thanks for some great thoughts. I have also had a tendency to do similar things in the landscape.
Thanks Mark
Valuable thoughts! And easy to be transferred into the life outside photography.

Thank you
Seize the day. Always a good advice.

Thank you
What a pity bud but your shot of it in better times is gorgeous😀👍🏻
Thanks mate.
