      Mod here.

      We’re not looking for accidental photos, as in “I yeeted my phone and accidentally captured A Renaissance™”, because those mostly don’t exist.

      We’re looking for well-composed photos that, as the photographer was pursuing a nice photo, also accidentally copied the rules of Renaissance painting, which does sometimes overlap (as a happenstance) with the fundamentals of good photography.

      We remove a shitload of photos that are objectively gorgeous and technically astute, but don’t look like paintings, so trust me, there’s a difference.

      You’re probably joking but since my internet sarcasm detector blew up I still feel obliged to tell you, its probably rather about the foreground versus background.

          Adding a /s or /j helps indicate if you’re being sarcastic or joking with ease.

    How is this limited to Russia?

    Go out in any major city within the US, multi million dollar condos in a tall building, homeless person begging out front.

    Fuck Russia, but this is not a Russia issue… this is everybody’s issue. I guess this sort of thing makes it easier for normies to cope.

      I don’t think the title is limiting the problem to Russia, but rather describing the contents of the photo

        It’s amazing how people do this online. They invent a whole new meaning and intention for something and then get mad at their invention. I mean I know that’s basically straw man, but it’s still funny.
