It's too simple...at least some light could have played...shot straight at me, what's the point of the photo? Just fir trees in the snow, a gray, lifeless sky, the road stretching straight and tediously...at least they could have looked for a better angle.
Kulenenok Lilia, This photo is about winter in the city where you also live, but judging by your reaction to the photo, you don't feel any emotion about it. What other perspective could there be here? Unless you stand on your head! Straight, tedious roads usually create perspective, which is what I wanted to show. If the photo is simple for you, try something more challenging, find new views; I'd be very interested to see it.
Yuri Shepelev, I walk my dog there almost every day, and sometimes I even take pictures, but believe me, not everything you take needs to be posted on a photo site. This photo is missing the main component of photography—its artistic value. The photo is worthless. Snow, fir trees, a section of a facade, the perspective of the road—all roads have perspective, and there are snowdrifts everywhere in this city (the one I live in). Now, if the sun had sparkled, the sky had turned blue (yellowish or pinkish), maybe if it had snowed... people had walked a little closer, then maybe something would have worked out, but as it is, it didn't... that's a fact.
Kulenenok Lilia, Well, if I saw a lack of artistic flair in the photos, I wouldn't have posted them, but, as we know, there's no accounting for taste. Urban and scenic photography tends to be less artistic than portrait or landscape photography, so I wouldn't recommend looking for anything refined or subtle in streetscapes, buildings, and bridges. I love my city; I like everything about it, even the gray sky that's been like this all winter, but that's no reason to throw away your camera. I'd also recommend viewing the photos in a good mood; they're much more enjoyable then.
Kulenenok Lilia, What was your comment? I'm not happy with not posting photos you didn't like! I agree with you on one thing: if you walk dogs in certain places for long periods of time, sooner or later those places become unsightly.
Yuri Shepelev, my comment about your photo being "no good," and yet you continue to argue like a child... your friends gave you recommendations to make you feel good, and yet you believe the photo is a miracle, how wonderful... it's ridiculous, really... You can delete the photos I don't like, you can print them out in meter-by-meter sizes and hang them on your walls, you can post them on every website in the world, but that won't make the photo any good. Maybe read some books on composition, maybe flip through some albums of architecture photos, then maybe, but not necessarily, you'll understand what I'm talking about. That's all. I'm tired of wasting my time on you. Good luck.
Kulenenok Lilia, I decided to speak up too. The shot isn't that bad. Yes, it's shot head-on, but there's no mirroring effect due to the different weights on both sides. Confident, strong rhythms on the right versus timid and hasty ones on the left. Diagonals on both sides, top and bottom. Three schoolboy-like fir trees are hiding under the snow, pressed against the building, from three thugs opposite, and there's no joy in such a situation, which is why the sky is gloomy, an ordinary winter sky, indifferent. The streetlamp also expresses indifference to the situation, "I see nothing, I hear nothing." Overall, the shot is not bad. Only I find it a bit boring
Kulenenok Lilia, I'll add to what's already been said
Besides the composition, the shot has a wintry, gloomy mood, and the perspective is there. The people in the distance helped a lot. The shot isn't a masterpiece, but it's there. Besides, with such views, it's very difficult to capture masterpieces where there's no river, lake, temple, or some unusual historical building
Sergey Tigarev, I wrote it above – at least the sun was shining... read my text... why take a photo of a view that's already worthless??? gloomy winter – it looks different... photo and photo – technically – no flaws, but I wouldn't call it artistic either, no matter what, it's just a snapshot. The guy was going to work, took a picture, came home, felt sad, posted it on the website, waited for a recommendation, sat there contentedly, and then that nasty Lilya Kulenenok came along and wrote a comment... and the comment was completely legitimate, it, my comment, could be copied and pasted onto half the photos about architecture and nature in our photography club, that's my story. Yuri Shepelev, nothing personal, by the way, I live in that area and walk my dog there... I get blinded and stop noticing beauty...
Sergey Tigarev, oh... I know winter can be sunless, but have you heard the term "regime time"? Filmmakers and photographers know it, there's a lot of sunshine in your photos... Why are you so protective of this masterpiece? Are you worried about your recommendation? I'm leaving, I really don't have time to waste any more time dribbling from empty to empty. Sorry for the spam, I hope I didn't offend you too much.
Kulenenok Lilia, Well, firstly, I have never called my photos masterpieces and I don’t consider them to be, secondly, men don’t get offended, but get angry, but this is not the case Thank you all!
Kulenenok Lilia, if you don't like a photo, that doesn't mean it's bad

Everything is correct except for one thing: you need to add more photos. In my opinion, the photos are worthless and won't improve anything in my eyes...
And the viewer will decide for themselves what's more valuable: photoshopped faces or history and architecture.
As for my personal assessment, there's no need for the same author to photograph the same places over and over again; the results are identical, no matter how you look at them.

Well, that's great, and everyone stuck to their guns.
Look at how many defenders, viewers, and admirers you have.
