Hi, can you guys help me? I'm trying to understand what makes the colors in these photos appealing. Is it the saturation, the yellow light from the Sun, or something else? Thanks

The sun makes white light, not yellow. These were shot on film, likely slide film which has intense, saturated color. Film will always look better than digital in daylight. It has more soul, skin tones are gorgeous and smooth, and the way highlights roll off is more natural.
kodachrome

Look up subtractive saturation, where when colors become more saturated, they get darker and denser. This is a byproduct of analog printing, and a big part of the film look that most people overlook. When you crank the saturation on a digital photo, it will start to look garish pretty fast if you don’t also control the brightness as well.These are also scanned from paper, which has a limited dynamic range, essentially producing a lifted black point and very low white point relative to what a digital display can do.
>>4468222I bet this isn’t kodachrome. More like Kodak Gold 200 pushed 1 stop. Or something warm-ish from fuji.
