NMV the left side is self-sufficient, the right tree is already an extra spectator center. And these cars are FOREVER COMING EVERYWHERE... View crop By the way, it is not necessary to lie on your belly (or in a puddle) I saw people attaching a camera to a monopod and shoving it under the feet of pedestrians, etc., that is, if there is no rotating screen.
Nikolay Matveenko, Nikolay, firstly, I'm not a guru, but just an ordinary amateur and secondly, it's in vain that you don't expect a different reaction...
fisherman (Igor)! I looked at your work... so don't argue. I spoke for myself...
I didn't expect any other reaction to this work... I wasn't referring to my own work in general... and... also... I'm glad you're stopping by... taking the time to write... that's attention... and that's important... thank you
Fisherman (Igor)! You're welcome... I am who I am... Everyone's opinion matters to me... and yours even more so... You write the truth... whatever it may be... I like it... a photo site would be boring without people like you... There would be works with a minimum of comments... most of which are "oh, how wonderful..."
The previous work with the reflection was quite successful, narrative-driven, and quite high-quality. This one is a bit simple: a puddle, a reflection. Frontal, too much unnecessary detail. The quality is worse. ))) IMHO, of course.
Jakov Trembovolsky (Jak Trum)! It's quite possible... in this work, I focused on a new method of photo processing... probably not the best shot... but overall, I liked the shot myself... I wanted to share it with others... thank you for your attention to my work!

Yakov Trembovolsky (Jak Trum), I agree with you that the previous work has a vivid plot, but it's not as beautiful (I assume you won't argue with that )...
Beauty in photography for me is the theme (what it's about), an unusual perspective, composition, balance (or a justified lack of balance), details, and much more. And just plain beauty? I don't even know what that is...))
I wrote a long post, but it disappeared... Jak Trembovolsky (Jak Trum), I'll answer briefly. What you've listed, sir, has meaning, image, technical means... But is it beauty? Beauty is HARMONY. And a harmonious object can consist of different, yet mutually coordinated components working towards a single idea. The result should be a new quality, not present in either of these components.
Beauty is HARMONY. And a harmonious object can consist of different, yet mutually coordinated, components, working towards a single idea. The result should be a new quality, not present in any of these components.
The philosophy of beauty is definitely not the topic of this site. What does it mean that beauty is harmony? Is Bach beautiful, but Shostakovich or Schoenberg ugly? Is Raphael beautiful, but Munch ugly? Different aesthetics have different understandings of "beautiful." "Beauty" is one of the most vague concepts in aesthetics.
What does it mean that this work by Nikolai Matveenko is beautiful? I wouldn't try to prove it. ))
Jakov Trembovolsky (Jak Trum) and Rart! Let's not argue... I'll say it myself: this work is not an indicator of beauty... besides, everyone will have their own opinion about whether beauty exists and what it is...
Nikolay Matveenko, I love coming to your work when there are already a lot of comments and ratings. Perhaps everything is controversial and not controversial at the same time, but one thing is clear: you take your work and interests seriously. I wonder what kind of country Through the Looking Glass it is.
Yakov Trembovolsky (Jak Trum), Nikolay Matveenko, what is beauty... how nice to discover eternal philosophical questions on this site! The photo is magnificent! Besides beauty, in my opinion, one can see many themes in it - nature, the city, history, reality and its reflection, etc. and all this in some kind of natural harmony! Very!!!
Not necessarily puddles... Reflections. [img]http://foolstown.com/sm/bird.gif[/img]
Personally, I really like everything about it
Well said... glad you like it!
It's unlikely a guru like you would appreciate the work of an ordinary amateur...
(This is not sarcasm)

From my PERSONAL aesthetic views, nurtured on painting...
I'm not proving it, I'm asserting it...
Jakov Trembovolsky (Jak Trum), don't take my mockery seriously...
N. Zabolotsky
And if so, then what is beauty?
And why do people deify it?
Is it a vessel containing emptiness,
Or a fire flickering within it?
Thanks, maxanin!
Okay. We've discussed it.
Simply

The main thing is that it has a feeling of early spring. Specifically, spring, not just another thaw!
