Somehow it's too neat for you..))

Boris Gurevich, I also sometimes go to cultural places. They're usually sparse, but clean. That's why I hesitated to throw in candy wrappers, cigarette butts, and chip bags.

Well, actually, perfect rhythms 🤗

Good afternoon. Beautiful location and a great picture with a well-defined shape... Thank you.

Good afternoon. Beautiful location and a great picture with a precise shape... Thank you.

Vladimir Ermolaev, Good day to you too. The photo is quite simple, there's no defining moment – you could fill the entire map with identical views.

Vladimir Ermolaev, and good to you too. The photo is quite simple; it lacks any defining moment—you could fill the entire map with identical views.

Suvlehim Takats, The defining moment of this photograph is the wonderful shape of the shot...!!! Thank you.

Suvlehim Takac, The decisive moment of this photograph is the wonderful shape of the shot...!!! Thank you.

Vladimir Ermolaev, This is more of an achievement of the architects; I just pressed a button. Seeing the form, lines, light, etc. was no problem. Now, if I had to stand on my head, with my butt in the air, and then I could see an interesting angle, that could be considered my achievement. 🙃

Suvlehim Takats, the decisive moment of this photograph is a wonderful form of photography...!!! Thank you.

Vladimir Ermolaev, could you elaborate on the decisive moment in the frame?

Sulvlehim Takats, It's hard to disagree with you, you're right, but only partially... An architect sees the picture as a whole, but you managed to isolate from his vision a fragment with a very interesting formal part, and this is the decisive moment of your photograph, but, unfortunately, a moment for the sake of a moment..., and it (the moment) must have a continuation..., if we are talking about artistic photography... And from this point of view, there must be something else in the frame..., the frame requires an additional detail... And if we fantasize, in part, what could have been - an ordinary newspaper lying on the floor could have radically changed the picture and brought it in its perception to a completely different level, more important and significant..., or a dog tied to the railing (lying or sitting), or something else, but MANDATORY!!! There must be something... But here too there are many factors - how the newspaper is lying and in what place... The same applies to the dog (how and in what place)... and to all the other details that appeared in the photo... You found a beautiful form in the frame, and this is one of the most important moments of an artistic photo... Thank you.

And if we were to imagine, in part, what could have been – an ordinary newspaper lying on the floor could have radically changed the photo and elevated its perception to a completely different level, more important and meaningful... or a dog tied to the railing (lying or sitting), or something else, but MUST!!! Something had to be there... But even here, many factors play a role – how the newspaper is positioned and where... The same applies to the dog (how and where)... and to all the other details that appeared in the photo...

Vladimir Ermolaev, Thank you for your detailed answer.
In the case you propose, the author's vision will appear in the photograph. But still, this is on the level of fantasy and staging (who would allow me to just have a photo shoot in a museum), adding a dog (an Irish Wolfhound would be suitable in size) into the frame (the only suitable place for this is the PNU) and lighting it, perhaps with a flash, in WL mode. The likelihood of such a photo tends to zero. And, as the old joke goes, fantasy is in a different department.

Suvlehim Takats, It's hard to disagree with you, you're right, but only in part... The architect sees the picture as a whole, but you managed to single out from his vision a fragment with a very interesting formal part, and this is the decisive moment of your picture, but, unfortunately, a moment for the sake of a moment..., and it (the moment) must have a continuation..., if we are talking about artistic photography...

Vladimir Ermolaev, if a decisive moment can be reproduced many times, is it really a decisive moment?

Ewa Strzelecka, but a "decisive moment" is something from genre photography. Let's recall the textbooks: in genre pictures, something happens, will happen, has happened. (Continue reading in E. Radzinsky's voice):
-Noooo... some of our comrades (in Che) believe, and I agree with them, that every (genre) scene has boundaries, or phases, like, for example, in a song: introduction, verse, chorus, bridge. So it is here: prologue/preamble - climax (see Bresson) - conclusion of the action / coda. Thus, a female scene contains THREE EQUIVALENT PHASES.
Most Bresson adherents strive for the middle, "culmination-climax," but there are also those (and there are many!) who strive for the last! They... call it the INNOCENT MOMENT!!!
