Shooting with intention is the best way to achieve great pictures. You are right shooting without intention can result in good pictures. But you get far fewer of them and rarely a great one.

Having said that I must admit to shooting scenes based in intuition. But it has to really feel right if I don't actually understand what it is I'm shooting.
Thanks for the information, I found it useful and will work on it this evening.
