Master composition guide for digital photographers - Ernst Wildi

Good composition - or the effective arrangement of all of the visual elements that fall within the frame of the final image - is essential to the success of any photograph. When the placement of the various image elements is well organised, the viewer is engaged in the image; without an effective composition, the eye wanders through the frame and the intended subject may even be diminished by distracting colours, shapes or other pictorial elements. Easy-to-read text is paired up with before-and-after photos, making it easy to see how each technique affects the image.
