    Alpaca

    The ears were going up and down like semaphore flags

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    very cute!

    nice detail with the green on the mouth
    a bit of a tight fit ... did you capture it with the ears alternated (is it was doing that sort of signaling)

    Re: Alpaca

    I think the image is interesting - and "cute" - as Armando mentioned. I would say, technically, it would be better if the main subject had a little more detail (increase "shadows") and the back a little less bright. The ears are a little too close to the edge of the frame and the animal in the back I am a little torn on - it is in between a distraction and addition to the composition.

    Thanks armando not sure why the ears where so active, possibly an alarm thing, although they didn't seem close to panic, probably just curious. Possibly wondering why I was struggling with all those buttons....

    Thanks llewpics, yeah composition could be improved and like you I'm unsure as to the contribution of the other animal to the image.

    Fun photo, but I had to laugh because it almost looks more like a photobomb in front of the other alpaca than a portrait of the foreground guy.

    Very cute photo but I think you could have zoomed out a little to catch more of the scene, it seems a little tight. Nice job though!
