I finished it on the way home. I liked the first bit but I didn't like the rest. He starts out saying that we haven't done enough for composition over the years. With sarcasm he says leading lines, rule of thirds and shapes/patterns and, bang, your done. Congrats, you have everything you need to know about composition.

Then he starts to go on about how you have to work the scene but he never really provides any deeper insight into composition. I agree that you have to work a scene. That information was very pertinent. But he didn't really talk about the composition of those shots.. what made them better. It all came down to what he liked. He'd scan through a bunch of images and say... "No. No. No. No way. No. And that's the one you finish in Photoshop." Why was that the one you finish in Photoshop? That's what I wanted to hear him talk about for the last half hour. What makes the last one in the set better than the others? In a couple of cases he alluded to distracting elements but like the picket fence in the lighthouse shot the distracting elements were very freakin' obvious and that's not always the case. I just felt like he missed an opportunity to take composition to the next level.

Maybe he doesn't really know himself.
