Thank you for your comments.
This happened in the Cathedral's cloister in Barcelona. Many people goes there to pray, but there's always a bunch of tourists, so it's not the quietest place in town. Although, these twin sisters were absolutely isolated of their surrounding, as if they were travelling trough a reality that makes not sense to them. Very strong feeling of being watching something of unique. endika

This is very nicely done. There's interesting variation in the intensity of the lighting, from the candle flames to the two scarves, and the facial profiles direct our focus to the hand lighting the taper.

This is a shot with a story behind it. One can enter the situation and imagine what's happening.

This certainly has a very lowkey atmosphere. Are they twin sisters or is this the same person? Regardless, the composition is superb and technically sound. Very nice.

Great handling of the tonal range here. Composition is great. This image makes you feel your privy to a very private moment.

Can almost hear them praying together. I like how they are dressed the same with the scarf thrown over the opposite shoulder (some sort of individuality). It would be fun watching them play the mirror game - trying to mimmic the other's motions. Great subdued lighting here Endika.

Everything on place here. Real low light key.

Very nice shot, I like the serene calmness, its a place where you hear each footstep and conversations are whispers.
