It's an interesting subject. I have yet to find an objective criterion for
"well composed". I will, however, allow that whenever I have picked up a
book of very good photographs, each of which was accompanied by the
photographer's verse, I did not buy the book. By contrast I enjoy my copy of
Mary Austin's "Land of Little Rain" with Ansel Adams's photographs whose
legends repeat a line or a phrase from her text.
