I recognised this place as soon as I saw the thumbnail.

I also prefer the first one. There is something quite sinister about the scene...

Nice one, Carlos. Life is mysterious and sometimes the miraculous scenes we catch with our lense are absolutely real, and yet...unreal.

Hola tu.

Me molesta la sobreexposición que hay en ciertas partes de la foto pero la idea era buena.

Un saludo y buen motivo de la foto.

Hi Carlos, a cool shot. The light behind the glass might be interesting for the cogregation of the vatican. Maybe they find out that it was a miracle. I even like the ws with the flying white dress.
Good job,
Nino.

What I like most about the photograph is her expression. spot on! ain't she happy to see an angel :)
And since you've captured her in that mood, at that moment, your photograph speaks volume to me. Of course the divine light, the mysterious blur...only add to it.
TFS,
Best,

Interesting symbolism and a good photo for your dedication to Sergio who needs your support at the moment. I actually prefer the previous one you posted so we can see the face of the "angel", but the light here and slight motion blur serve your purpose well. Good work.

Hi Carlos,
I agree with you (and with your great note!).
That'a real decisive moment, I like it!
Ciao

Hi Carlos,
The luminescence here is almost overpowering, and indeed there is a mystical effect. You caught this one at the decisive moment, with the "angel" in full flight. Good clarity of detail and a perfect exposure level. Well done...later.

i love the overall lighting and the colours here carlos, but i don't think it's as successfull as your previous (brilliant) post.. perhaps if his angellike qualities were more apparent (i loved the trumpet)... still a very mysterious atmosphere here..

Hola Coco! Wonderful contemporary Annunciation, wonderful story that goes with it, the timing was surely on your side, but also your eyes were, with those magical golden lights on the frosty glass of the door, the translucent gown of the "angel" and the little woman, not like in the Renaissance depictions of Mary but more like in the earlier ones, very flesh-and-blood, to me cute.
Very nice and magical shot!
Thanks,
sasa

hello carlos,
it is nice to be back and i realize how much i have missed in last few weeks.
goo composition and your caption adds more impact. good angle but the slight tilt bothers me . nonetheless it is a good creative composition.
