I love that quote . . . and it's the title of my latest Kelby Training Class.
The photographs here, taken in Iceland two weeks ago, illustrate some important composition techniques.
Above: use a foreground element to place the viewer in the scene.
I am a nut about cropping. I shot this picture knowing that I'd crop off the boring top and bottom in Photoshop.
Be a nut about cropping, and you will get pictures with impact.
Again, for more info in composition, check out my Composition class. My Composition class goes hand-in-hand with my class on lighting: Light - the main element in every photograph.
To learn more about composition, join one of my workshops. We work hard, but we also have a ton of fun.
Explore the light,

I agree...great post, the composition is the most important, no one should crop someone else's photo...lol
I hear so many photographers say how they don't like to crop their photos without really giving post production composition at least one chance. I like how you don't spare any boring part (as you said) any sentiment and have no problems cropping it off!
