Marina Glebova, thank you, Marina, for your opinion. The photo is indeed staged, as a still life suggests. The photo you provided as an example is more of a conceptual one, so I don't think they can be compared at all. But the photo is truly excellent: it flies and sings
Gladyshev, it's entirely possible and necessary to compare. There's no such thing as a separate genre as "conceptual" photography, because some concept underlies every image, even when it's not intended. Even when the image doesn't even look like a picture
Mono, I'm saying that comparing photos taken in different genres is incorrect. Or are you suggesting comparing, for example, Nude and Macro, or, say, Genre and Landscape?
It's all here... A combination of the monumentality of brick and the fragility of an egg. The stripes are warped, competing with the perfect squares on the brick... A riot of planes and various intersections... Volume and plane... The only drawback here is that the left side of the brick is too oppressive... too black... In my opinion...

Gladyshev They can be compared because both are formalist photographs. And both are built on striped shadows. The other thing is that the requirements for a staged photo are higher—after all, there's the opportunity to rearrange or remove things, there's time to think and fidget to find the right angle. On the street, while walking, almost all of these opportunities disappear.
There's too much going on, and it's chosen and staged in a way that's too artificial and unnatural.
Compare this one, everything is natural here - http://www.ex-photo.ru/photos/48668
It's simpler, but it "flies and sings."

That's still possible...
