I stand by this observation from study and practice: "Overall, effective image composition remains integral to a worthy photograph."
Effective composition is certainly important. I think the negative responses are to the use of the word "precepts", which is an even stronger word than "rules". Some photographers have a natural ability to compose photographs without using rules or precepts, which can become cliches.

Since this is Photo Analysis, you are supposed to ask something specific about the photos you wish to have analyzed.

It would be really great for concerts or any event where you need high ISO's for those low light situations. 
That makes no sense. Take away a lot of light for low light situations? Even with high ISOs you would get very long exposures, which won't work for concerts or events.

Aha! Ansel Adams said he made the photographs. I think make and manufacture have the same meaning right?
I assumed that Retired CPO meant by "manufactured" some kind of composite or items added to or removed from the original.

This is true. But where is the line between "improving" and "manufacturing"? There must be one somewhere.
No need for a line. Photos have also been "manufactured" since the beginnings of photography. It didn't start with digital.

One "can" be. But when one "needs" to be the graphics bubba, one has not done one's job as the photographer.
Improving the image that comes out of the camera has been an important part of photography since it was invented.

I know but that is how it is. Although the court didn't deny that the monkey was the photographer they denied his right to the image. I guess it's like Paul said, the monkey took the picture but he couldn't take picture out of the camera and he didn't own the camera.
It wasn't a matter of whether the monkey could take the picture out of the camera or owned the camera, it was a matter of whether animals (other than humans) can own a copyright.

Is composition more important than exposure? Without a good exposure composition will not help.
Just saying.
Just saying.
But it can be easier to fix an incorrect exposure than it is to fix a bad composition.

I don't know about that. A couple of years ago there was a huge kerfuffle about a monkey that grabbed a camera and took a selfie. It looked like a pretty good portrait to me. Whether or not the monkey or the camera owner was the photographer and therefore owned the rights to the image ended up in court. I never did hear how that one ended...
It wasn't a question of whether the monkey was the photographer. A case could be made that he was. it is a question off whether the monkey owned the copyright to the photo, and it was ruled he didn't.

I looked up the definition of precept and got "a rule or direction dictating a way you should act or behave." That is not at all the way I approach composition.

I haven't used Bay Photo for a long time, perhaps they've improved but I will never use them again. Too many errors, bubbles in the surface, cutting off signature. They were always quick to replace but I do drop shipping and I don't want a customer to get a piece with an issue.
Why drag up this 2017 thread, and you don't even have an update to how good they are now.

Use quote reply when your reply is not to the original post that started the thread.
There have been times that someone was replying to the OP after many pages, and it wasn't obvious that the post was to the OP. After many pages have passed, it is probably good to use Quote Reply to the OP.

When I had a studio after I went digital I shot tethered and had my clients review the photos at the time of the shoot. I had them pick 12 they were happy with and made a PDF proofsheet of those for them to make the final choice. Sometimes they didn't like the initial photos and I was able to adjust whatever was bothering them. There were times when I was shooting film that a few subjects didn't like any of the photos for some reason and I just had to reshoot. This was mostly for business portraits.
