books on composition?

[sf_pike]

Hi there my name is Gherardo.
I was wondering if you guys have any recomendation for studying composition.
I have found a couple of books:


-Mastering Composition: Techniques and Principles to Dramatically Improve Your Painting (Mastering (North Light Books)) (Hardcover)

http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Composition-Techniques-Principles-Dramatically/dp/1581809247/ref=pd_sim_b_2

-Composition in Landscape and Still Life (Paperback)

http://www.amazon.com/Composition-Landscape-Still-Ernest-Watson/dp/0486457486/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1224175053&sr=1-1

Are they good? Any other suggestions DVDs, other books?Is it there any past thread on this subject?

Thank you

Gherardo
