I would like to receive some critical feedback to this photo

Well, listen to the critics. Firstly, this site is filled with people who mostly grab landscapes and cats.
Secondly, the critics are either lazy, or they're just as interested in landscapes and cats. And a minimalist photo requires reflection, for example, on what the photo brings to reality, or what the photo brings to the image, or consider the ephemeral nature of a photo, an ephemeral drawing, an ephemeral story about an ephemeral god... or could reality have gotten lost or confused somewhere here...?

It's a very difficult task to convey your own work based on someone else's. There are precedents.

Edu, and it (a very complex work) seemed to work out for me - there was almost nothing left from the original and from the emotions evoked by the original, and there was no Photoshop - only cropping, angle and natural lens blur.

Edu, and it (a very complex piece) seems to have turned out well for me – almost nothing remains of the original and the emotions it evoked, and no Photoshop – just cropping, angle, and natural lens blur.
Impressor, I don't argue, it's all true. You're great. I can't find anything similar, I don't remember – we'll see. I'd love to hear your response under your other photo.

Edu, I remember, it was on Volna. But whose it was, I completely forgot.

Ignat Safronov, I had an absolutely magnificent collection of similar ones. I can't find it, I can't say :-(

Impressor, check out Lenochka Bulochkina's work, he has something similar.
I really like yours.
Impressor 11.52

Rada, I googled and only found 15 works by Lenochka Bulochkina on hiero.ru. There was nothing similar there. Thanks for the kind review.

Edu,
Impressor, I don't argue, that's exactly it. You're great.
Thank you... Or was that sarcasm? I was a bit expecting a harsh response. I'm surprised everyone is reacting so calmly to my presumptuous, provocative, and self-aggrandizing remarks. On the other hand, it's nice to be in such respectable company.

Now it's clear what the author meant.
Theoretical preparation for perception is necessary.

So theoretical preparation for perception is necessary.
Altimona, I wouldn't even say theoretical preparation, but rather a willingness to consider any ideas from the perspective of refraction of existence.

Edu, ..you know how to wrap things up..

..it's really interesting..

Some people manage to take a unique look at the familiar, while others initially find it difficult to even understand what the author sees..

What's it like to be the first?

Edu, exactly, Ginzburg. I looked for him myself today, but couldn't find him. He's persistently associated with Bulochkina, but he stubbornly denies it. Even at one exhibition, their names were listed side by side: Elena Bulochkina (USA), Victor Ginzburg (USA).

Edu, thanks for the link. But I'm a bit disappointed. I thought this photo had an original idea, but here there are entire series in this style :(

Impressor, viewer's opinion: yours is better. There's soul and emotion here, and they're wonderful, because the photo speaks to the viewer, who can empathize with, excuse me, the "models" in the photo. Consider the models to be the author's work, as the original's visualization has been significantly altered.
Impressor 11.52

Rada, this is the ideal I was striving for. It's very gratifying that at least one viewer perceives the work as intended. But I realize I fell somewhat short of that ideal
Thank you for such a flattering comment.

I'd be interested to hear your opinion on two more of my works:
They were created using a similar approach – a direct shot, but the modernization of reality occurs not through depth of field, but by converting to monochrome.

2 - for some reason this photo was hidden in the "home" section – I don't understand why, and I don't know where to ask.

Impressor,
For some reason, they hid it in the "Home" album - I don't understand why, and I don't know where to ask.
A certain number of clicks of the red "No (Home Photo)" button moves the photo to the Home album.

Odelena, thanks for the clarification.
But what does this mean? A dozen moralists will remove all nudes to their home, a dozen Islamists will remove all images of people to their home, 10,000 morons will remove all photos with meaning to their home, and we'll only be looking at cat photos???

Impressor, the calculation algorithm is probably somewhat more complex than a simple count.

DMITRY APALIKOV will communicate with photographers: receive criticism of his work, practice criticizing others' work, and promote his vision of photography.

Impressor 11.52
16.07.2014 22:36
Ollgierdas, I might have worked on it, but it turns out it's not an original idea. Bulochkina has already worked in this direction—someone mentioned it in the discussion a few comments above.
Olgierd Harts
16.07.2014 22:45
There's very little that makes one Bulochkina stand out among millions. Moreover, even though the idea is the same, the results of that idea are different for each person. That's the unique charm.
