L'effetto della luce che filtra rende molto particolare la scena con i contorni delle persone illuminati.

Sonsoles: la mejor forma, pero no única, que tengo de decir me gusta tu foto es incluyéndola entre mis favoritas... y ahí se encuentra este precioso trabajo.

Hola, Sonsoles!
Los colores hechos por una luz suave están maravillosos! El encuadre vertical también está muy bueno para acompañar las columnas. Buen trabajo!

This is almost a perfect shot. The Framing and your POV work well but the best is how you handled the light.
Cheers!

You did capture the magic hour in that amazing location. This light is fantastic. I love the way it illuminates the people on the left.
The composition is very interesting. The columns attracted my attention at first sight, but after, following the light, my eyes were directed to the people seated, feeling that warm sunshine and looking to the left, and it makes me wonder why they were there, what were they talking about?
That's the magic in this picture. Well done.

Hi Sonsoles,
This really is very special, the play of light through the columns and the people enjoying themselves on a perfect evening is one to remember but I think the thing that really makes it is the the insects (I presume) which have been highlighted and I'm sure are the inspiration for the title ?
Congrats

Hello Sonsoles,
It is so good to hear from you again, I was wondering what happen. I hope you are well and that all is fine, you are just busy with your life, school, family and friends. Perhaps some travelling too, and enjoying life, and have not time for TE. It is great to see you back.
This photo is beuatiful. I love the golden light that shined through the collumns onto the grass where people are having a picnic with family and friends. Such a warm and cozy feeling. I wish you could have include more of the people instead of having some of the cut off and facing out. I like that you can even see little dust where beam of sunlight.
Way

Hello Sonsoles,
I like shot with fantastic light, this one should be one of them.
You have captured it softly and it must not have been easy. Your timing was perfect with those people on the left like an echo to the peaceful one on the right. If I were you I will have probably deleted the other heads we can see between the columns to make it stronger but it is perhaps cheating...
Regards,
Eric.

hi Sonsoles,
the light is pure magic here, if we didn't have it, one would have to invent the photography to capture a scene like this :) I particularly like the composition you have chosen, the line of the shadows seems to separate human world from the fairy land. I don't care about the slightly over-exposed are or dark shadows, these contrasts actually add to the appeal of the image. great shot, my compliments.
best,
Kristine

Hola Sonsoles,
No paso mucho tiempo en TE así que de vez en cuando tengo que hacer un repaso y descubrir los tesoros que se han ido almacenando por aquí, como esta imagen tan bien compuesta y sobre todo con la magia de esa luz que has controlado tan bien.
Un abrazo y espero que hasta pronto.

Hi Sonsoles,
Strong back light situation very well captured. The sky is somewhat over exposed but don't matter here.
One person, probably the mother, is partly cropped away which is a slight minus.
Anyway strong photo!

Hello Sonsoles,
What a wonderful light ! You managed to catch it in this beautiful picture very well composed.
The white spots seems weird and I didn't know at first sight what it was, but when I read the different comments, I understood it was many mosquitoes.
