ash, What are you talking about – Home Album? Look how balanced the photo is, what harmony, the composition is superb, and the colors are wonderful, each character is in their place. It's like a story. A true genre photo!!!
Victor K. (NetHunter), yes, yes, tell me what I'm missing. I don't like the water or the color. According to the rules, balance in a photo should facilitate/enhance perception, not guarantee anything.
Story? None at all. The guy dropped his mask, more like he's taking off his fins. Snapshot from above. Composition... The LWU and PNU take on too much, the middle section immediately falls out. And the genre, I agree I'm trying to figure out... myself, my perception :lamer
ash, I'm just kidding. As a local critic said, "You can use empty words and clever phrases to justify anything. But it will remain anything." So I'm just making a point
Victor K. (NetHunter), "Verbiage" and writing allow us to convince the photographic masses of an author's excellence and guarantee any of his "Masterpieces" many recommendations.
We are all learning and should be grateful for the feedback and recommendations of other Club members. There are many genuine works here, and there are people to follow (not just the authors on page one). But at the same time, I see an unfavorable trend of losing our bearings, and everything boils down to chasing after "RECOMMENDATIONS." Young people (like me) who come to study rarely see discussions of ideas, feelings, construction, balance, composition, space, shooting techniques, etc. I think we should strive to enjoy the process of photography more. Life is multifaceted.
V.N. Mosin, I think the viewer always evaluates the picture first, rather than reading this "word-driven nonsense." For me, any opinion about my work, good or bad, is always important. On the contrary, you can learn much more from criticism than from ordinary rivers, but not all criticism here is so constructive and clear. Sometimes critics limit themselves to something like "crap," rather than pointing out real mistakes. And how do you think one can be grateful for such a review?
From a compositional standpoint, I'd add some more up and to the left. It's missing a person on the bottom left or in the bottom center.. (There are just too many of them at the top.) The right rock is a bit flat (but that's okay.) I don't like the reflections of the water in the overexposure.
The color is okay, but it's missing... I like the central character, the water around him, and the girl.
And anyway, let's say what we think, and more of it.))) PLEASE!
GOOD PHOTO, WHAT ABOUT THIS CRAP... I'M TOO SLOW TO READ... LOOK AT THE BRIGHTNESS AND COMPOSITION... IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, PASS IT BY. IF IT TOUCHES YOU, LOOK... IT'S SIMPLE... HOLY SHIT... JUDGING BY YOUR RECENT WORK, YOU'RE AN OUTRAGEOUS PHOTOGRAPHER... LOOK AT HOW MUCH BLAH BLAH BLAH...
I'd like to see the cropping option. If it hadn't been cropped, it would have been much better. But I like the composition and the colors, especially the colors. The water is just the right color for film.
And the plot is fine. The sea. People are swimming. There's a central character and there are those watching him. How could that not be a plot for the genre?
So, I have a couple of comments, but overall, it's all very interesting.
I'm watching what people are writing, and in each work there's more and more of this overblown "fie" attitude. As Usovich already said: if you don't like it, move on. Why sling mud at the author like "what a load of crap" or "oh, I don't like this?" If you have any comments on technique, please let me know. It will be constructive advice. Photographers are so sensitive after all...) And you're pouring out so much anger.
As for the technical details, what immediately catches the eye is the junction of the sea and the rocks. This overlapping blue looks very unnatural: View crop
Ekaterina Demidovich (Gothica), "ugh, how disgusting" is a bad comment because it lacks constructiveness. But "oh, how lovely" is an excellent comment and doesn't require constructiveness Many would like to see this author become a "pro," hence the interest in works. It's varied, and has higher demands than beginners.
ash, any questions for me? ) I wrote constructively, describing what I liked. Thus, I showed that such comments are also constructive. Of course, yes, if someone likes the work, it would be better to know the specifics. The same applies to cases where they don't like the work. That's what I wanted to say.
It's a shame that criticism disappears when the author is already accepted as a pro. If you write comments to a pro, the response you most often hear is, "Pfft, I'm a pro, that's what I want and I don't care" - something like that. That's not encouraging. Constructive criticism stimulates development. But for some reason, it mostly falls on those who only pretend to be "pros." And they develop. Pros don't receive this criticism, so there's less impetus for development. After all, who is a pro? Only an author who makes a living from photography. It's not a given that they know and can do more than anyone else, create the most perfect works, etc.
Photography is such a thing—if you start talking, you can criticize and justify anything and everything.
In any case, by and large, "like" and "dislike" are a matter of personal taste. And we have no right to claim that someone's taste is worse than ours.
We could organize a flash mob) comment on all the work of our professionals and see what happens.
Overall, nothing special. 1. Not large enough to see the space. 2. Pseudo-bas-relief, either from sharpening or from being too tight. 3. The colors are unclear, not bad in any sense, but just unclear.
ash, I really wonder who these many are who would like to see "this author" become a pro? I'm doing fine as is considering that the "pro" title doesn't really change anything as if I'd suddenly become a better photographer
Victor K. (NetHunter), of course, that's my dream, and I'd love to get more recommendations. I'll call all my friends who are on the photo club now so they can comment more and give me more recommendations.
Y E L L O W, I'm well aware of these local tricks of posting works early in the morning, moving them from one category to another, and replying to comments. I also know why it's done. Rivers, ratings, scores, popularity... This will pass... In time...
Victor K. (NetHunter), sir, it's understandable to somehow understand the race for rivers on the photo club, but being the first in comments is interesting! And what does that mean... I don't understand. Sorry, but I'm not inclined to remain silent in response to such strange accusations. Popularity here? You know, if I were on page one at least on Photodom, it might mean something. I don't consider Photo Club to be a particularly authoritative site in the world of photography, although of course there are many interesting and worthy authors here. And why are you even following me? Such detailed information about all my actions... I'll soon start to fear you
Y E L L O W, don't worry, I'm being kind. And I'm not accusing you at all. I'm just sitting here sculpting in Photoshop. I'm bored, so I go to FC to have some fun. Sorry if I offended you in any way
Honestly, why did you change the photo category from Travel to Genre?
I just found out that solar activity is happening now - then it's clear why everyone has been so angry at the photo club for the past six months LET'S LIVE IN FRIENDLY WAY
Victor K. (NetHunter), well, you really said it yourself that it's a genre, and several other people have echoed that. I was actually thinking about doing that right away, but for some reason I started doubting whether it's a genre.
We were recently discussing the meaning of the genre category here and realized that most of the works in FC don't fit that category at all....
Victor K. (NetHunter), and you, I see, are some kind of joker. You won't understand what's a joke and what's not. :znaika. Think about whether everyone will get the humor, otherwise the joke might become a joke only for you.
Y E L L O W, a joke is a joke, but you changed the category after mine had already stopped being a joke and everyone got it. Those who didn't get it read comment #12 and got it too. There's no hint of genre here.
Victor K. (NetHunter), whether it smells or not It's all subjective. Really, look in the genre folder and see what's posted there. I'm not going to investigate or reread comments #12, 15, 20, or any other ones. I see that playing detective is your thing.
Y E L L O W, My comment wasn't directed at your work. That was understood. A photo is just a photo, with some idea, some thought. I frankly said that the "recommendation" was leveled. Today, dummy photos, thanks to the deliberate hyperactivity of some authors, are gaining popularity and are becoming easy workaday, losing track of what's good and what's not. Of course, this is a byproduct of the process, I think, of any amateur site (club). However, this was the case two years ago, too, with other people.
I don't see any stunning sea flowers here, the water is worse than in a swimming pool.
I don't like the water or the color. According to the rules, balance in a photo should facilitate/enhance perception, not guarantee anything.
Story? None at all. The guy dropped his mask, more like he's taking off his fins. Snapshot from above. Composition... The LWU and PNU take on too much, the middle section immediately falls out. And the genre, I agree
and that's all.
And you contributed to it.

And how do you think one can be grateful for such a review?
However, Voynov, for example, gave it a positive review. It's all quite subjective.
From a compositional standpoint, I'd add some more up and to the left. It's missing a person on the bottom left or in the bottom center.. (There are just too many of them at the top.) The right rock is a bit flat (but that's okay.)
I don't like the reflections of the water in the overexposure.
The color is okay, but it's missing...
I like the central character, the water around him, and the girl.
And anyway, let's say what we think, and more of it.)))
PLEASE!
LOOK AT THE BRIGHTNESS AND COMPOSITION... IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, PASS IT BY. IF IT TOUCHES YOU, LOOK... IT'S SIMPLE... HOLY SHIT...
JUDGING BY YOUR RECENT WORK, YOU'RE AN OUTRAGEOUS PHOTOGRAPHER... LOOK AT HOW MUCH BLAH BLAH BLAH...
Maybe it's time for me to retire.
And the plot is fine. The sea. People are swimming. There's a central character and there are those watching him. How could that not be a plot for the genre?

Or do you want to take first place in comments on this work?
I'm doing fine as is
considering that the "pro" title doesn't really change anything
as if I'd suddenly become a better photographer
I'll call all my friends who are on the photo club now so they can comment more and give me more recommendations.

I see that playing detective is your thing.
or are you joking again?
Yo!!!
I won't comment on this photo, because I think the author has better work.
But that's just my opinion.
so that means I'm just not original.
