I am a bit surprised that nobody mentioned :

Bruce Barnbaum his

“The Art of Photography…an Approach to Personal Expression”

I found it quite interesting and worthwhile, perhaps he phrases his preferences 
too strongly that other people do not like his writings ?

Best,

Cor

Hi Speedy

Many people have suggested books, so I won’t add to the already comprehensive 
list.

I found this video of a talk hosted by the B&H store in New York particularly 
good. Eileen Rafferty talks on ‘Visual Design of a Photograph’

If you have not seen any of the B&H videos they are worth looking-up. There are 
several on composition.

I hope you get as much from them as I do.

Regards
Harry

Of all the places I might pose this question I believe I will come closer 
finding an answer here
than anywhere else.

I am looking for a good book on Composition.

I am not looking for the basics, or even something written for an 
"Intermediate" photographer.

I am hoping to find a book similar in caliber to Barry Thornton's "Edge of 
Darkness" or Tim Rudman's
"The Photographer's Toning Book..."

So, what is your suggestion for the best book on composition available?

Thanks
Chuck
