So the author managed to convey it - it's terrible) but otherwise, it's simple and from life, you can see this in any village and in a city where cats live, what's terrible about it
Sergio Borkoni, I don't think anyone's written anything before you, but can I ask, what's wrong with this? Just to the point, no blah blah blah.
Ruslan Akhmetshin, so you don't see anything wrong with this.....uh.....digital image? Everything's fine? And the angle, focus, and composition? Everything's supposedly a masterpiece? And is a chicken Lara in a cat's mouth supposedly really, really profound? Is there a deep, hidden meaning to it? Answer me. I don't know what the author used to shoot this creation, but does it make any difference to you what you use to shoot such crap? This is precisely the issue of defects. Well, a DSLR, a point-and-shoot, a camera obscura...well...they're all absolutely monopenis-like. You don't even have to be a photographer to shoot something like that. Give a camera to a gibbon and he'll just press the button. It won't be any worse, maybe even better, more conceptual.
I'm not comparing in any way, but: "I don't know what kind of cameras other people use. I made mine myself from scrap materials, it's held together with duct tape, and parts constantly fall off. All I have to set is the distance and... well... I forgot what it's called." (c) (Mario Giacomelli).-)

t p v, do you remember what Miroslav Tykhyi shot and printed with? And try to repeat that!
Ruslan Akhmetshin, so you don't see any flaws in this.....uh.....digital image? Is everything okay? And the angle, focus, and composition? Everything is supposedly a masterpiece? And in general, is a chicken Lara in a cat's mouth supposedly sooooo profound? Is there a deep, hidden meaning in this? Answer me. I don't know what the author used to shoot this creation, but does it make any difference to you what to shoot such crap with? This is precisely the question about flaws. Well, a DSLR, a point-and-shoot, a camera obscura... well... it's absolutely monopenis-like. You don't even have to be a photographer to shoot something like that.

Sergio Borkoni, I get it) question after question, blah blah blah))) Okay, everyone sees and perceives differently.
What or who should I photograph? What should I use? Why should I photograph? They want this and that... And no one senses the mood and the state of the moment???? There's more life in this "photo marriage" than in half the photos on this site... Someone should go without food for four or five days, and then maybe you'll get a sense of what it's like....
Someone go without food for four or five days, and maybe you'll feel what it's like....
Yulia Goncharova, are you suggesting I become homeless, like that cat? What a kind person you are, Yulia... And yet you're supposed to be a teacher, a creative person.
And speaking of mood, I once found a masterpiece in some toilet or urinal. They display such masterpieces twice a week in my garbage bin. Maybe I should open a vernissage there? There's life there too. It'll be even more valuable, since they're not from a store or a warehouse, but rather from their intended destination, so to speak! They probably even smell like themselves. And there are plenty of cats and dogs there too; you approach them with a trash bag, and they jump out in a flock. And even homeless people show up, rummaging around, looking for something... Damn, I was so ignorant, I walk past art every day and don't see it. And I periodically see cats stealing chicken paws, not just in trash heaps. Cats steal a lot of things, not just paws, but a lot more. Many feed cats chicken paws and other food, and some cats have a habit of stealing bits and pieces. Maybe you just didn't know about it?

Damn, I was so dark, I walk past art every day and never see it. And I periodically see cats dragging chicken legs, not just in the trash. Cats generally carry a lot of things, not just paws and much more. Many feed cats chicken paws and other food, and some cats have a habit of carrying pieces. Maybe you just didn't know about this?
Oleg Kaledin, )))) Are you trying to offend me? )))) I'm not talking about what and who sees. I see a lot of things too. But I can't film it that way. To know what real thirst is, when you're ready to chew through a water pipe with your teeth, you can only do so after going without water for several days. The same goes for hunger. I've tried it, more than once. Three days is fine. But then... My grandmother survived the siege, and even managed to save and raise two daughters. You don't have to become homeless to try and feel this. And as for the creative approach, that's the whole point. Not just to look, but to see and feel the moment. Everyone sees and feels differently. I like this work. Wet snow, snowstorms, tension... The pose, slightly pressed ears, and gaze—a readiness to defend the prey at any cost. This prey is vital, even if a chicken foot is practically nothing but bones. Some will sleep in a warm bed, but they need to find a dry patch, protected from dampness, snow, and wind. A skin isn't a diving suit—it gets wet... The black-and-white version enhances the effect. There are photographs of paintings, photographs of documents, photo studies, and photo sketches that can later be used for other works. And this is also a sketch, like a quick pencil sketch. And the point is to capture all the subtleties of conveying the mood of a given moment. Drawings remain in their original form, but many photo sketches like these are edited, and in the process, something gets lost. The spontaneity and immediacy of the execution are lost. I recommend it with pleasure. So, sorry...)))
)))) Are you trying to offend me? )))) I'm not talking about what and who sees. I see a lot too, but I can't photograph it like that.
Yulia Goncharova, Am I trying to offend you? Why? I just read this and it brought tears to my eyes... You know how difficult life can be, I know all too well. Let's leave the conversations about the poor for other platforms. This is about photography, the value of the story, and the author's skill with their tool—the camera. The story is terribly banal, since cats, like dogs, with food in their mouths, winter, summer, and any other time, can be found without going far from home. So the conclusion is that the story has zero value. The author's skill with the camera, the ability to get the exposure and focus right—also zero. The "disabled" cat The result is the same, and the composition is zero... Well, let's say +0.5 on a ten-point scale. And I'll teach you how to shoot like that... You can sit by the trash heap for a couple of hours and shoot so many masterpieces. Just shoot from the hip or from the belly, preferably turning off autofocus so that the lens doesn't focus at all. Are you shooting in semi-auto mode? Adjust the exposure somewhere negative or positive. Although... it's better to get an old phone, a dual-pixel one; it will produce more masterpieces and life will be more lifelike. I promise, masterpieces will pour in... Let's just be honest with ourselves - do cats make you feel cute? That's normal. But cats are one thing, and photography is another. And as a layman, you can be as cute as you want about this photo, but photography has nothing to do with it. And also, I already provided a link here (you can find it in the comments feed if you're interested) to how people took pictures a hundred years ago. They didn't have cameras like we do now, but they took much better pictures than today's "geniuses" who boast about shooting on film, and everything in between.

Let's save the conversations for the poor for other platforms. This is about photography, the value of the story, the author's skill with their tool – the camera. The story is terribly banal, since cats, like dogs, with food in their mouths, winter, summer, and any other time, can be found right near home. So the conclusion is that the story is worthless. The author's skill with the camera, the ability to hit the right exposure and focus – also worthless. The cat turned out "disabled," and the same goes for the composition – zero... Well, let's say +0.5 on a ten-point scale. And as for shooting, I'll teach you... You could sit by the trash for a couple of hours and shoot so many such masterpieces. Just shoot from the hip or from the belly, preferably turning off autofocus so that focusing doesn't work in the lens at all. Are you shooting in semi-auto mode? Adjust the exposure somewhere negative or positive. Although... it's better to get an old phone, a dual-pixel one; it will produce more masterpieces and make life more vivid.

Oleg Kaledin, you didn't hear me. I love animals. And cats. And dogs. But I didn't see anything "touching" in this photo. The subject may be "banal," as you say, but our whole life is banal. And there's no need to turn everything into a farce. I'm talking about how I feel. And for me, this isn't just a snapshot. I can even hear the hiss of this invader. )) "Don't come near! Don't touch!" ))))) The ability to empathize and sympathize is also an art.)))
Yulia Goncharova, I'm not deaf, believe me. And what you're writing, I've heard so many times... But why can't you hear the rustle of a field, the rustle of daisies and cornflowers? The tenderness of a butterfly's wings? The singing of birds in the forest? The sound of the surf, the flow of a river. Or feel the life of the city? That's also living life. By the way, it's much more interesting and expressive. I need to give more examples of the subjects of photographs that you pass by every day, remaining indifferent to them. But you're touched by cats... I don't sympathize with them. They live as nature intended, in the biological chain of species. We're talking about photography here, not compassion. This is a photography website, not a compassion center. You can find something of your own in them, and you have the right to do so. Just please leave the same right to others to find something of their own in the photographs of authors with other subjects, which you derogatorily called "photographs."
Quality Mark!
