Digital cameras, Software galore, and a world-wide obsession with pixels can cause one to forget the basics. Focal Press and Peter Ensberger recognize how crowded the photo community is with these topics, that's why they decided to produce the book, Focus On Composing Photos: Focus on the Fundamentals. A good image starts with design, and if you don't have that, no sensor, no matter how big can save your photo.
