> Are these books any help, and are there other suggestions or comments? ------------------- Peter, the link below is not to a book but to a blog that may lead you to books and other interesting references (after some scavenging): http://tinyurl.com/3xdpm7 I trust you realize that the "goodness" of a photo depends on other factors besides just looking at one and deciding if you like it. Time - everyone's opinion changes with time (including our opinions of our own work) Context - and related information - can make or break the value of a picture. A recent piece in the NYT on that: http://tinyurl.com/2vsegv Category - is it good in the "aesthetic" sense, in the "informative" sense, good as "memorabilia" ?... etc. Presentation - do you think it's good when it's framed and properly lit but wouldn't look at it otherwise? -- do you like it equally "good" small and big? -- You get the idea. I wouldn't send you to find "definitive answers" in books or other sources, just food for thought.... Antonis
