Hmm... Yeah, Dima, you have some strange viewers. How can it not be interesting if it's so good? I think they're obviously being disingenuous. Or maybe they don't even know what they're talking about. Now, if you'd just photographed some fence, you'd definitely get thunderous applause. And if you read a little further, the answer is obvious – it was shot head-on! I think I agree with that. Because everything is flat, and even the road on the left doesn't help with its perspective and doesn't add any dimension. And the sky here is kind of painted-on, completely unreal. I don't know how high you jumped for joy when you saw this location, but you must certainly be disappointed by the end result. Who taught you how to shoot landscapes and 50-footers, especially on a cropped frame?
Oleg Kaledin, you don't need to be a witch to know in advance what "dreadful thoughts" you'll have under some comments. You're a well-read and well-worn book, Oleg Kaledin.
Nice photo. However, I'll be waiting for Malakhov's next step. (As well as from many other authors.)
Larisa Kolesnikova, thank you, Larisa! It's just missing a little curly cloud to the left of center to make it perfect. Then it would be absolutely adorable.)) You're right about the step, too, but it's a bit early to show off any experiments.
Oleg Kaledin, Kaledin, why did you suddenly decide to make me happy? You closed my comments on your masterpieces, you could have sat there, politely keeping quiet! Exchanging heartfelt joy with Zhenyas. Where is your principle?
And the sky here is somehow painted, completely unreal.
It's a thing, a polarizing filter. Try clicking your gray clouds with it. If you don't like it, at least you'll be able to discuss the sky later, being a technically savvy person.
And therefore, everything is flat, and even the road on the left doesn't save you with its perspective and doesn't add volume.
Volume isn't needed here, but I'll explain to you, as an expert, that the picture is built on a combination of colored spots, lines, and rhythms. Did your enlightened eye notice how the cross in the triangle gloriously "rhymes"? With crosses on the posts? Mondrianism with additions.
Who taught you to shoot landscapes and fifty-dollar photographs, and on cropped paper, no less?
And who told you that's a landscape? Landscapes are for masters who've read too many rose-tinted books. Mine is pure formalism. Consider it a fence removed. Or a garbage dump.
Your audience is strange.
My audience is amazing! That's how they differ from you and Zhenya: they express their honest thoughts, not copy-pasted compliments.
P.S. If you want to continue the conversation, refrain from empty rants. I deleted your comment to Larisa as a personal attack. If I click the "block" button, it will be forever. Try talking about photography, not about people.
Judging by the rivers, there are only 13 and not 113 as there would have been a year ago, but I don’t see Potapov). Well, Kaledin, what about him, he started a typical children’s tease https://www.facebook.com/AUCreat/videos/1540208616053492/
Farid M, there's no cloud on the left)) There's a lack of balance. Filaur, audiences these days have become picky and annoying. 113 is a good number, but you'd have to be a red-haired, calcined person and spend half a year, which is about it, on copy-pasta to reach such heights. Do I really need that? Then you'll have blisters on your aphedron and fingertips for another six months.
Farid M, there's no cloud on the left)) There's a lack of balance. Filaur, viewers these days have become picky, even harmful. 113 is a good number, but you have to be a red-haired, calcined person and spend half a year, which is just not enough, on copy-pasta to reach such heights. Do I need that? Then you'll have calluses on your aphedron and fingertips for another six months.
Malakhov, you used to have plenty of your own redheads here... Yeah, the Scripture teaches everything in its time, a time to cast stones, a time to gather them. No one has interfered with you and your friends over the past year; with the help of the complaint button, you got rid of those who, in your opinion, were interfering with your art creation.
Filaur, you are biased, sir. And, like many before you, you are making one cardinal mistake: attributing to "us" what "we" do not do. I will speak for myself: I have only one character in my "buttons," and he is Meremyanin. If my answer satisfies you, I am happy. If not, then so be it. I no longer have the time to respond to your nonsense and speculation.
Reflex, Neta Georg, Farid M, here's the original. Honestly, I don't see what else I can do with it. The image immediately looked like a square, although they say we should get rid of that.))

I no longer have time to respond to your nonsense and speculation.
Malakhov, Yes, Gena is strong, many are afraid of him, and I agree with that. If he hits you hard, you'll get a real punch. As for the nonsense, that's what I'm saying: for a year, you and your friends have been given the exclusive right to speculate. Where are the pearls, sir? Over the course of a year, there was a pronounced semi-flirting here, with Krik, Murtazin, and Verunchik, who is known as Slavik, playing the lead violin.
Olga Dan, Neta Georg, Farid M, okay-okay)) Marina Glebova,
A square and a non-square simply have different purposes.
There! If I needed those safflowers, alfalfa, and other barley crops for their own sake, for a business trip report, then a "non-square" would be just right!
KALEDIN, HOW ARE YOU BETTER? You haven't had any strong, detailed opuses for a long time, but last year in the lane, yes, you were strong in duels with real professors.
Gena had some pearls... so many that it made my eyes water... For example, "I can't agree that light creates artistry..." (spelling and punctuation preserved). That's right, it hits the nail on the head. Knocked me out!
Filaur, Gena actually had some gems... some that made my eyes water... For example, "I can't agree that light creates artistry..." (spelling and punctuation preserved). That's right, it hits the nail on the head. Knocked me out!
Malakhov, Well, in any case, now that there are no strong analysts, you're the only one here with whom we can even discuss photography. Kaledin has started babbling, but who cares now? Well, to avoid being a complete idiot, I can suggest you check out https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100010146006061&sk=photos I recently posted this. Okay, see you tonight if everything goes well.
Reflex, Neta Georg, Farid M, here's the original. Honestly, I don't see what else I can do with it. The image immediately looked like a square, although they say we should get rid of that.))
Malakhov, And I'm all for the original! I don't want to cut the area on the right at all – there are some really nice wedges there for mosaics! And a little bit below – I agree.
Filaur, Do you want a reaction, or just an introduction?
Malakhov, Well, how can you not be verbose? There's some kind of rabbit-like masturbation going on under Gleb's photo. It feels like people are madly swallowing food and, with bulging eyes, typing on the keyboard, from under which meaningless and incoherent phrases pop out, and this goes on all day long. No, you and Kaledin are still different from them, and significantly so. And if Gena shows up, the forest and mountains will dance. I don't want any reactions to the photos; purely for reference, since we're on a photo resource, we simply have to present something. I think my photos, as an amateur, are quite good.
- an unclear road line?
Alexey Potapov, Yes, I see that you are here, physically, that is, only your ass is here. But where are you spiritually?
Olezhka's gone. He got all worked up, and I finished him off with a polarizer... He self-banned. So, we'll be left, oh, I'm so sorry, scraping by without an analyst.
He banned himself. So, oh, I'm so tired of it, we'll have to scrape by without an analyst.
Malakhov, You see, Dima, Oleg also works; he travels frequently to other cities. And writing on the road isn't very convenient. And a smartphone screen that's always on drains the battery in a couple of hours! Well, you know, being left on the road without communication for you—well, I'm sorry, I can't make such a sacrifice, even for art.
But you really did kill me with that polarizer; I was tormented the whole trip by the question: what kind of glass from a Chinese basement could possibly destroy the sky like that? For heaven's sake, tell me what you have there, so I know what not to buy, so I know what not to recommend! The sky, you know, is always lighter toward the horizon. But yours isn't really a sky, it's just a strip drawn on it. You could have at least used a gradient fill. Oh, right, you weren't taking a photo, you were just lining up some color spots and looking for crosses.
Here's what I'll tell you: BUY YOURSELF FELT-TIP PENS AND PAPER! Draw as much as you like, there'll be more room for creativity! I understand that when we were kids, not everyone even had colored pencils, let alone markers and paints, which were a real shortage. Well, some people didn't draw or color enough as kids. Now they're apparently making up for lost time. I have friends who draw, and you know, they're showing excellent results! People even buy them! And most importantly, there are no complaints about them on websites; everyone understands that it's a drawing that looks completely different in person. Whether it's photographed or scanned isn't that important. Although they photograph and scan their drawings, they're much better than you photographed this one. And playing tic-tac-toe is way too much for you now. It's just not appropriate! Or do you seriously think you'll become the next Rothko, or some other Gursky? Isn't that where you're aiming, Dima, isn't that the crazy idea you're cherishing—what if it takes off?
No, Dima, I'll disappoint you bitterly—it's a closed caste there! They don't accept outsiders. You see, if everyone were given bonuses for nailing their balls to the square's paving stones, then all of Europe and America would be left with nothing, and all the millionaire donors would be reduced to paupers. Because if that were the case, then tomorrow every square in every city would be strewn with newly minted martyrs for truth and freedom of speech, their bodies nailed and screwed down, their orifices sewn up.
So, alas, only their own kind, the initiated at the highest levels, are there to siphon off budgets and donations, and to pinch fools! They won't let laymen within cannon shot. So, drop it, that's the deal. Finally, get into photography, so that at least something in the frame looks like a photograph, and not like a picture taken from a beer bottle that's been getting wet and fading outside in the rain and sun. They said above that I don't have something there? Who am I supposed to talk to? Well, he answered his own question by defining what kind of wild activity your colleague is having under her picture. And I need to take part in this depraved orgy? No, Dima, remember they taught you in school—protect your honor from youth! So please don't hold it against me, but it's somehow not fitting for me to take part in this sabbath.
A metaphysical mini-review of the landscape Dedicated to L. Kolesnikova
When he saw the ideal, He saw nothing else. He was inflamed with the ideal. And he didn't see its destruction in it. His soul was simple. And didn't try to figure it out... Ah, if only instead of a cross, He had a woman! A poppy sprouted from a field, Submissive to an eastern fate. And bloomed in the middle, Decorating the field. What a precious shot that would be. What a feast it would be in the heart. If Malakhov had adorned this landscape with a naked woman. Perhaps a woman's turn Will come...The ice in the soul will melt... ***** Landscape? It doesn't touch the soul. It lacks blurriness.
Oleg Kaledin, oh, I'm awake... Don't mess with my phone. Your comments shouldn't disappear if your phone is turned off, and the message "Message writing disabled" shouldn't appear under your pictures. You're lying, Kaledin. Okay, you're lying to me, but why are you lying to yourself? I'm not even asking why you wrote so many letters in an attempt to cram something unintelligible... mine—your colossal theoretical analytical baggage into a comment. However, Kaledin's diarrhea of thoughts is always a remarkable phenomenon, full of lulz, absurdities, and mutually exclusive paragraphs. Come on, Oleg, blush for once in your life, and keep writing! I won't "turn off my phone," and you'll get upvotes for your comments... You'll become a top commentator
Valeriy Sviderskiy,
If only Malakhov had decorated this landscape with a naked woman.
You really delight me with fresh rhymes, Professor. Just look at this one: "decorated the holiday"! Simple and elegant. )) "Saw - death" is also powerful, but not as captivating. "Metaphysical mini-review" is like the title of a detective series. It's simply a holiday, Oleg is right - not blushing!
Don't mess with my phone. Your comments shouldn't disappear if your phone is turned off, and the message "Message writing disabled" shouldn't appear under your pictures.
Malakhov, I wouldn't need you lying to me for a hundred years, me talking about Foma, and you talking about Yerema. Of course I turned you off, I won't even deny it. I turned you on so you could read that I answered you clearly and explained everything clearly. But you have no arguments, as usual, Dima. Again, nothing but epithets... That's why I'm turning you off. I'm not going to engage in the same kind of masturbation with you as you're used to with your friends. You're not interested in photography anyway. Well, never mind, when you grow up (which is extremely slim to hope for), come on over! In the meantime, relax! Many crosses still await you in the endless fields! Steppe, steppe all around. It lies wide...
Regarding the square... I thought that the square makes it easier to abstract from reality and perceive the image as a set of color spots and stripes. The original format returns to the traditional perception of a landscape image.

Serg Tix, why isn't it "one of the best on the site"? I'm devastated and heartbroken... Adafin, and besides abstraction, the square really disciplines composition.
The picture is actually quite good. Concise. The colors blend harmoniously. They're subdued. The composition is well-crafted—after all, we're talking about a valley, so mountains are present. Therefore, the road ascending and the patches of cloud in the valley project a mountainous terrain onto the mind, while remaining almost invisible. The sky is bright, but natural. And what about the washed-out look—well, what if that's how it really is? The sky in the hot steppe lacks dramatic tonal transitions. Everything in the colors is bright, fresh, and at the same time documentary-like. This is Kazakhstan. There are similarities that will delight Deacon Alekseenko. There's a sterility in the selection of the frame's contents (the author cropped it correctly), which will appeal to the connoisseur and critic A. Krik. The square is appropriate, lending the picture additional energy. There's also a small, Slusarev-style, semantic quirk that provides a 100% subconscious connection to the East. But I'll remain silent about it—let the experts decipher it. As we say in Belarus, "I'd hang it on the wall." IMHO
Valeriy Sviderskiy, I'd put it on a beer bottle with the new name "Stepnoe"!!! Recommend this idea to Malakhov, maybe he'll become famous here, if he can't make it in photography!

Everything is very precise and very well-thought-out.
I can imagine your delight when you saw such perfection.
A gift for a photographer!
And also his downfall.
How can it not be interesting if it's so good? I think they're obviously being disingenuous. Or maybe they don't even know what they're talking about. Now, if you'd just photographed some fence, you'd definitely get thunderous applause.

That's the case in many photos, but only in nature)))
It's a thing, a polarizing filter. Try clicking your gray clouds with it. If you don't like it, at least you'll be able to discuss the sky later, being a technically savvy person.
Volume isn't needed here, but I'll explain to you, as an expert, that the picture is built on a combination of colored spots, lines, and rhythms. Did your enlightened eye notice how the cross in the triangle gloriously "rhymes"? With crosses on the posts? Mondrianism with additions.
