Olá Artur,

Nice capture while they are busy with their festivities. I like their natural movement while walking to sea and your good timing that translates their feelings to your frame. Congratulations.

Olá Artur!
Bonita foto com cores bem definidas, e uma luminosidade aprazível.
Gosto do enquadramento e o tema vem recordar os dias quentes de Verão, que tão agradáveis são.
Obrigada pela partilha e um bon ano de 2007 para ti, com muitas fotos.
Rosa
