Zhenya Ryzhov, the photo is black and white, I think.
Hi everyone, what can you do if you have to insert twenty identical comments in a minute, all using the same template? After all, Ryzhov doesn't have time to look at the photo itself to see if it's in color or black and white.
It's long been clear that Zhenya is using a bot, hence the inconsistencies. Unfortunately, not everyone realized this; apparently, the effect is strong... like in Krylov's fable. "The breath caught in my throat with joy," And at the Fox's welcoming words, The crow cawed at the top of its lungs: "The cheese fell out—that's how the rogue handled it."
It's long been clear that Zhenya uses a bot, that's where the inconsistencies come from.
Alexander Zeonoff, Alexander, whatever Zhenya uses, he plays completely fair. The site is highly rated, everyone wants recommendations, and Zhenya gives them honestly and wholeheartedly. Do you understand the point? I don't think any independent and self-sufficient author needs any "cheats" in the form of approving or other critical comments from people who, as is often the case, are themselves far removed from photography or the genre they're writing about (I'm not referring to this work or Zhenya Ryzhov). Therefore, comments are usually used only to somehow draw attention to one's work. And that's right! Of course, some people also use them to "show off their intellect" simply because they're bored. And the principle of "you give me what I give you" applies to any site, no matter how much someone wants it. Metaphysicians recommend metaphysicians, landscape painters recommend landscape painters, portrait painters recommend portrait painters. Some recommend everyone, hoping for something to come back. One way or another, it's all a kind of Tetris game that shouldn't be taken seriously. And everyone understands this perfectly well. But some simply disguise their flattery or, conversely, dislike of photography, and sometimes even of the author, with all sorts of high-flown rhetoric about the merits or demerits of this or that photograph. But Zhenya, besides being an honest man, is also a good photographer with worthy works that are worth recommending. Whether he responds or not is irrelevant.
Oleg Kaledin, It's quite enough to simply click on the recommendation and move on. Then it's not so obvious that the commenter didn't see the photo, but is simply automatically slapping on a cliché. I preemptively excluded Zhenya from my potential commenters. I don't want to look stupid responding to such clichés. And reading them is no less stupid.
Alexandr Popov, I agree. Such behavior is reprehensible)) And doubly so for those responding to such praise.
Alexander Zeonoff, Alexander, no matter what Zhenya uses, he plays completely fair. The site is highly rated, everyone wants recommendations, and Zhenya gives them honestly and wholeheartedly.
Oleg Kaledin, Oleg, you're not stupid and you understand better than me that this is a call for everyone who wants recommendations to create bots and what the site will become – a second misdirection and the like.
I'd swear off anyone who uses such tools...let them win the audience's love with their own work. And responding to a bot's comment is beyond me. I don't understand you here either. Well, unless you create a bot and have it respond to you. Bot to bot communication. There's demand, and there are already plenty of good software online that meet this demand.
Oleg, you're not stupid and you understand better than me that this is a call for everyone who wants recommendations to create bots and...)
Alexander Zeonoff, Alexander, Zhenya didn't create bots; he simply wrote a comment once, copied it to the clipboard, and pasted it into all the works he recommended, so as not to waste unnecessary time. I can't say whether this is particularly judgmental, as I don't believe in the sincerity of most of the comments written here and the recommendations given by other authors and other works. I think that you, as a person of similar intelligence, also see through this farce that's happening elsewhere on the site. Do you really think that everything written about artistic merit and other absurdities in relation to other photographs is written seriously? No, people are simply bored and practicing their epistolary style. Therefore, Zhenya may be acting frankly cynically, but he is nonetheless sincere and honest – he is giving recommendations. And therefore, I don’t judge him and I understand him perfectly.
Dear commenters, I'm so glad you're all so modern, and it's clear you've been browsing this site for a long time, unlike me! I didn't know about bots on sites like this, so I simply enjoyed reading... To which, being well-mannered, I responded with gratitude. And I advise all of you, the highly knowledgeable and omniscient, to simply point out such "nuances" to your novice colleagues... it would be much more enjoyable to read. As the saying goes, "a kind word pleases even a cat." And if you're going to criticize, it's best to be to the point...
, It's quite enough to simply click on the recommendation and move on.
Alexandr Popov, unfortunately, not all authors check who recommended them. For some, it's just too much. But recommendations and comments are just a game, nothing more. So I don't see Zhenya as being particularly guilty. Well, he made a mistake, it happens to everyone. But overall, he's a decent person. And for a long time, he remained unnoticed as an author on the site, and many simply ignored him. This tactic with comments successfully helped him gain recognition. That's why there was cynicism and prejudice against him from our entire team at first. Unfortunately, we ourselves, with a big beam in our eyes, immediately condemned not only the commentator, but also the author who simply responded politely to Zhenya. That's the whole point of what I wrote above... So Zhenya is doing the right thing!
A question for Oleg Kaledin. What does a rating do for an author? Personally, I couldn't care less who does what here. It's gotten to the point where even the most clueless person over there is laughing. Why did they even have to create such an advanced resource to be so obtuse?
And if you want to criticize, it's best to be on point...
Marina Sivachenko, the work is worthy! I even recommend it, although you've only given it fifty recommendations in your entire time on the site. So my recommendation isn't intended to be reciprocated. There won't be any criticism, since everyone has already practiced their epistolary writing and even managed to discuss not only the commentator but also you as the author for your polite response. Creative success.
[ Therefore, Zhenya may be acting downright cynically, but he's nevertheless sincere and honest—he's giving recommendations. And therefore, I don't blame him and understand him perfectly.
Oleg Kaledin, Oleg—it's your choice, and I don't approve of it. And regarding this incident, I'll tell you a joke, a bit raunchy.
The director of a house-building factory arrived at the construction site to inspect the project. The "thoughtful" foreman takes him to inspect the house.
The director: "And the house looks stylish."
The foreman: "You've been everywhere and seen everything." They continue walking, enter the entrance, and the director stumbles and says, "Damn." "It's dark as a black man's ass"...and the foreman automatically.... "You've been everywhere and you've seen everything"... ))

Creative success.
Oleg Kaledin, Thank you very much for the kind comments, I say, I rarely come here! And all this discussion under "work" simply explains a lot to me.
Oleg, it's your choice, and I don't approve of it.
Alexander Zeonoff, look, the author's work has been on the site for over a day with a rating no higher than seven points, which doesn't even allow her to upload another work the next day, forcing her to wait three days. I don't think the photo is less worthy than others that have already become both Work of the Day and popular with the required rating. The author simply doesn't recommend the right people. This is what needs to be discussed, and this is what breeds such cynicism and this whole "you-know-what" thing.
That's why we're all like this on the site; there's no point in pretending we're better than someone else. That's not true.
There will be no criticism, since everyone has already practiced their epistolary writing and even managed to discuss not only the commentator but also you as the author for your polite response. Creative success.
[b]Oleg Kaledin, I don't blame Marina at all, and I apologize for the "Crow," as she might not have known that someone named Zhenya possesses extraordinary abilities: - within 1-2 minutes, select 20 works, name them, and "write" 20 identical comments. That's all. Period.
Question for Oleg Kaledin. What does a rating do to an author? Personally, I couldn't care less.
Filaur, when a month ago you were throwing a tantrum here about how no one was recommending you, wringing your hands and all that jazz, did you forget that, my dear? So you're also blatantly lying. And everyone remembers it. You can't wash a black dog white!
Alexandr Popov, Sasha, we've been talking about this for quite some time now and have sorted everything out. I don't think there's anything left unclear to either of us. That's it, period. If you want, you can contact me on contact, and I'll answer in more detail if there are any genuine misunderstandings.
Oleg, you're freaking out right now, and you're doing it genuinely, not like Zhenya Ryzhov, who's a carbon copy. I sometimes say that to get the audience going. Well, my dear, I put another 10 under each "work." I have one in mind; you can see for yourself who was the most hysterical. I remember a movie where the main character said something like, "You lie just to make it feel good," and here it is, a slap in the face to the author, and then Kaledin pops out like Pinocchio from under your ass. I forgot how you fought yourself for two weeks.
...I forgot how you dueled with yourself for two weeks)
Filaur, you need to see a doctor, you're obsessed with clones... Sergey Kryshke is a real person, from Belarus, whom many people even on this site know personally.
You can screw old women by the dozen, but you won't fool me. Okay, keep lying, I don't have time for you now. I asked calmly, and you went nuts. I've never seen you do anything like that before. By the way, come check in online this evening, I'll send you an interesting photo.
, I don't blame Marina at all, and I apologize for "The Crow."
Alexander Zeonoff, I think you've doubly condemned her in the two comments above, in your response to Popov, or am I missing something? That's why I maintain that all the discussions here about anything, including the merits or demerits of some work, remind me of the lamentations of an old woman with diminished social responsibility about the decline of morals.
I read. I thought a lot. I don't like writing much and I'm not good at it. Basically (critique), I can say that the facial expressions are poorly executed—the eyes are squinted unnaturally, the nose blends into the edge of the cheek—a major mistake that speaks to the author's inattention and lack of preparation for portrait photography. And yes, bokeh in portrait photography isn't a portrait, it's just a technique. Sorry for being so blunt
