Take away the saturated colors and epic figures and there's this. Not sure what it is but it's got a place in the nicer of our fantasies.
These are very pleasing images. A nice feeling of "outdoor recreation" (I think that's a good euphemism) in hazy diffuse summer light. I know that hazy diffuse summer light well (raised near the coast, a 1 degree drop in temperature and suddenly it's fog). Nice to see a couple of "golden hour" shots in there as well. Not sure what you mean by "angels and Ariel's", but I get the soft light, clean skin and shallow DOF. There's an overall sense of peace and tranquillity, a feeling of a more innocent and carefree time; something that has been sadly lost today.
