The authors show, through the use of side-by-side comparisons, why one image is superior to another. Using more than 250 of Wolfe's photographs, they discuss, in down-to-earth language, such concepts as subject placement within the frame, vertical versus horizontal formats, and how the elements of design—line, color, form, and pattern—can be used to greater advantage.This book is a unique blending of the two ends of the nature photography business—the picture maker and the picture buyer. Photographer Wolfe describes his creative process behind the viewfinder while editor Hill speaks from the viewpoint of the buyer whose concern is what the image communicates to a larger audience. Both have taught niunerous workshops and have backgrounds in fine art, and together they share more than thirty years of professional experience in the field.
