Original artwork, not a still
In my mind's eye, I visualize how a particular ... sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice.

Adams describes seeing a finished print in his head before it exists. When a scene excites him, that's a good sign the photograph will work. He calls it intuition, and says practice, not magic, is what builds it.
