.......................................//series.
i'm serious about this. i'm not bullshitting. this is a series i'm proud of, and something that i feel broke a new limit within me as an artist. please critise and review with this in mind - this isn't supposed to be pretty.
if i were you i'd wait till the i post the last one to comment on the series. just view and take it in for now.

The angle of the shot is really great especially for the second.
In the first one I like the symmetry between the curves, I don't know if you want/search them but that's really good!

An interesting series (I have seen all eight as I comment now).
I think this was the strongest. The third was also excellent. The second was very blurry... and the last was less interesting.
I like this one most, however, for it's bold, clear nature. Especially the shot on the bottom, insomuch as it does wonderful things with perspective. However, choosing to mount these two-on-a-page was an excellent idea, as the bottom image on it's own would be somewhat drab, and the contrast and curves of it's pair here truly suits.
Again, an interesting series. Minimalistic. Perhaps too many shots featuring the light in the garage... Two would have been enough, IMO. Nice balance to them all. Nice perspective in all.
The light was also best in this pair.

Olya, very nice work here The study of geometries is quite fascinating to me as well
Images like this one are more about shapes, textures, and light moreso than subject.
I really like the top half of the image moreso than the bottom. The top part has more depth. The only minor improvement from a technical aspect i see on that part would have been to rotate the camera slightly counter clockwise to remove the partial diagonal line on the bottom of the frame. That's only a very minor item though...
Keep up the great work

delicous my dear, just delicous. Weird transitional contradiction, but it still works, just deliciously. Faloff is crazy in these.

hmm..wow...this is awesome. I'm not quite sure what the top one is, but that makes it all the more interesting. Great shapes and angles here....awesome!!

wow...both amazing! the top one specifically...sooo cool! you have an excellent eye...i must say

both photos are amazing. The level of abstraction is well chosen. It calms me down when I look at it. Really beautiful!
The photo at the bottom just looks like a chess board... pattern, texture and lighting are perfect. The upper photo offers a great structure, it's a pleasure to look and simply enjoy it.

great shiot, i ike the angle and the patterns sorta confuse the mind.

indeed a wonderful concept that you executed so damn well!! --bravo ms olya

wonderfully executed, I must say. That is quite a warped looking location! I'm wondering if that effect comes from the actual dynamics of the room, from a specific shooting technique (almost has a half-fisheyed lens effect on the bottom) or a darkroom/digital manipulation? No need to spill your secrets, I'm usually pretty tight-lipped about how I acheive certain effects. Looks great, cant wait to see the rest!

This I love, the pattern in the floor, the curving, all the different shapes form great geometry. The atmosphere is nice, and the shadows and lighting are great. Wonderful and

Great job, technically you got two perspectives in there, the wall as well as the floor, almost each an entirely diff photograph! "Sweeeet"

That's perfect. Love the b&W really bring out the contrast of the piece. TOp one is my fav.

I like a lot the concept of both and the ideas on each panel, playing with architectural patters. It's a great theme to exercise our photography. It helps us to think about composition and expression. And you do both very beautifully here.
But (some criticisms) each panel is lacking of a perfect technical and visual control (lighting, straightness of lines etc...). It seems they are all a bit underesposed, and with the deep black border the general viewing is a little hard.
Hope I'm not annoying you with only technical notes

these ones have more in common than the photos in "declivity second pair", the patterns are much closer between them, and both make me want to know what is on the left upper corner, as this is the most illuminated spot on both photos.
although you most likely have nothing to do with it, to me the dirty on the ground gives it a casual look.

Good job!
I like especially the light and shadow which intersect within each other...

wow! easily one of the coolest abstractions I have seen from you. amazing line, form and shape. the composition and balance of the elements as well as the overall presentation make this piece one that I will remember you by. So simple and so smooth, yet so complicated and crazy. I just love this.
