The Photographer's Eye: Composition and Design for Better Digital Photographs.

Design is the single most important factor in\ncreating a successful photograph. The ability to see the potential for a strong\npicture and then organize the graphic elements into an effective, compelling\ncomposition has always been one of the key skills in making photographs. Of\ncourse, digital photography has brought a new, exciting aspect to design first\nbecause the instant feedback from a digital camera allows immediate appraisal\nand improvement; and second because image-editing tools make it possible to alter\nand enhance the design after the shutter has been pressed. This has had a\nprofound effect on the way digital photographers take pictures. The\nPhotographers Eye shows how anyone can develop an eye for seeing great digital\nphotos. The book explores all the traditional approaches to composition and\ndesign, but crucially, it also addresses the new digital technique of shooting\nin the knowledge that a picture will later be edited, manipulated, or montaged\nto result in.
