Review: This is a wonderful book on composition - This is a wonderful book on composition. Of course there are the well known compositional tools, but what I especially loved were the mood lines explained and with photos to help understand them more. I've seen these diagrams before but could never quite put my head around a lot of them. Marc has them described and photos to show the mood. And then of course, you can begin to look for these lines in nature, portraits, landscapes etc. ......it's a useful book, one to take with you and study and practice over and over until it becomes second nature. Highly recommend this book to beginners and professional photographers as well

Some interesting ideas about lines
The author discusses directing attention or creating a mood in photographs through the use of various types of lines. He gives examples for each line or form he identifies. In many cases, the connection between his discussion and examples are clear and convincing. However in several instances, I could not see such a connection. This book is useful, but also is short and concentrates on one aspect of composition of a photograph.

helpful, thought provoking teaching that will improve anyone’s art.
Full of nicely composed teaching that delves deeply into how to change and evolve how I see the process of image creation with specific changes to my techniques that have stepped up my art significantly. A very helpful, actionable and inspiring tool to take you to a new level.

Some good information, but images used to illustrate the rules of composition are not good.
I got this book after the review published by Ken Rockwell. It really is nothing groundbreaking, and I am not sure if Ken is right on this one. Anyways, Mark has made some good points in the book. However, my biggest misgiving about the book is the sample images or the lack there of. The quality of images used for illustrating the different rules of composition is really not that great, and I wish Marc has used some better examples.

The Secrets to Creating Amazing Photos is so Easy to Use
I never really understood the composition techniques that I had read about. The entire subject seemed so confusing so when it said that this was easy I had to get it. Yes, The Secrets to Creating Amazing Photos: 83 Composition Tools from the Masters, seemed to me like a recipe book. I keep it in my camera bag! My composition immediately improved and seems suitable for all levels of photographers. My husband is a semi-pro and he said the cleared up some misconceptions he had. I looked Marc Silber up and signed up for his mailing list and now I get photography tips from him all the time. So helpful.

Valuable book for creating powerful photographic images
The title of the book doesn't immediately give you an indication of the valuable information contained in it. Unlike most photography books that either show you pretty pictures or discuss technical settings of the camera, this book presents 83 composition tools used by photographers and master painters to create an image. In other words, it's a book you can use to create more powerful photographic images. It's easy to read and provides photographic images to demonstrate each composition tool.

Great Book
Very well written and the photographs really helped to illustrate the various composition rules. Hyperlinks to other photos referenced in other chapters in the book would have been nice though.

Very disappointing.
I was very disappointed with this book. The pictures in the book are very poor quality with weak washed-out color - in fact, in some cases there is hardly any color at all! It's meant to be a book about photography, yet the photos in the book look awful. The book seems to be a very cheap production. I'm sorry I wasted my money.

Great for composition reference!
The book has a lot of info and can be used as a pocket reference and guide while creating photos or illustrations. Great book!

Buon libro a buon prezzo
Non ha contenuti rivoluzionari ma è scritto in maniera molto schematica e facile da capire, ogni cosa di cui parla ha un esempio fotografico, per quel che costa ne vale sicuramente la pena.
