If you're not a sectarian, please tell me where this place is. Thanks in advance.

The work was well-translated into graphics; it looks interesting. The only problem is there's too much empty space. It could have been left as is.

mmmockup is awesome %(
Maybe in the 80s something like this would have been acceptable(((
It looks a lot like what you can see from the Mound of Glory, there's a small lake there.

Zoloto, you're so intolerant You can't do this. People learn, try out different techniques, explore ways to add expressiveness to a photograph. They show them to hear other people's opinions. And you react as if a seasoned photographer nominated this work for a state award.

It's strange when the tone of a brazen teenager suddenly reveals some truly sensible thoughts amidst the stream of abuse Maybe you should stop shocking the public and adopt a more normal tone?

=)) VL@D, maybe that'll happen someday =))

People, learn and try, read what you like, "you can even send me a message sometimes =))"

Words don't always mean what they say, be smart =))
Every fairy tale is a lie, but there's a hint in it, good luck to everyone =))

Spectacular glow!

Dimych! That was when we had too much beer at the Mound of Glory, and you were driving... I need to dig into my own stuff - there was something interesting there from that point...
Zoloto, you got the crowd going!

Dzmitryj Barouski, if you like, look through the catalogues from the 75-87 exhibitions in the USSR, or a collection of Soviet photographs, the printing is just very similar =)

Why is it out of focus at the bottom left and in the center?

Thank you, thank you all! Ideas are born in discussions

The view from the Mound of Glory at sunset was truly beautiful, the light was beautiful...
Well, some of the imperfections are mainly due to the 10x zoom of the inexpensive Olikovo optics – the lake is quite far away there. And the "white balance" as always... :\
As for the style, I really wanted to go for an 80s-inspired shot – it just begged to be taken

VL@D, - thanks, but the PP, IMHO, isn't all that empty... - there are some interesting... let's say, "power lines," which I even wanted to emphasize with blurring, not remove. They somewhat balance and complicate the entire composition. The CP is washed for the same purposes.
A.Luchenok, - That answers your question, and thank you. What did you think?
Zoloto, -

the layout is awesome %(
maybe in the 80s something like this would have worked(((

- thanks, I liked the layout myself. So I'm sharing, maybe someone will go and develop it into a serious work
- would it have worked in the 80s? You mean, to the level of a photo work? - probably..

Belsky, I was just asking a question. I think blurriness in the foreground rarely enhances a photograph.

Zoloto,

If you like it, look through the catalogs from exhibitions in the USSR from 1975-87, or a collection of Soviet photos; the printed material is very similar =)

So, should that era be erased, archived as unnecessary, and most importantly: not done like that?? Well, you know...

Belsky, the PP is good, but there's too much of it, so I suggested reducing its presence in the photo. This also removes the out-of-focus band that doesn't enhance the shot.

Yes, you're right about the blurriness in the PP, but I'll leave the PP itself with lines and highlights, otherwise the volume is lost...

Attractive work

Dzmitryj Barouski, no of course not, it's just that to do something like that back then you'd have to be a PRO, but now it's not possible, the buttons in Photoshop are easier to press, =(( "dig deeper"

Zoloto, are you hinting at the monkey with the typing machine? :naezd

Belsky, why so suddenly, right here, I hope you did it consciously =))

Thanks again to everyone for your advice and support!

Zoloto, - I shot it deliberately, without cropping, a fact, since I was "at the wheel" But I pressed the buttons in the shop with little awareness and little experience, but firmly and with great diligence, joy, and my tongue hanging out
Let me think I'll do something in the style of my native 80s
I welcome criticism, but only if it's constructive and informative...
