I was looking at some street photography the other and lamenting that, while it was technically very good, the composition wasn't very compelling.
Then the thought occurred to me that my own compositional skills could use a lot of help. So I am looking for suggestions of resources that could teach me the principles of good composition. I am a top-down kind of guy: give me the principles of a thing, and pretty often I can apply them. But I am not very good at a looking at a photograph and figuring out what makes it work or not.
So, are there any books, websites, videos, or other resources that you think would be useful in learning to compose compelling photographs?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers, Jock
