Photographer's Note
We were in Cusco up at the Sacsayhuaman ruins, when we came across this group of children singing, this boy with his Alpaca stood out for me in particular.

Hi Wanda,
This is a very beautiful photograph. A lot of people from my family have lived in Peru so after looking at this photo, I want to visit here even more! This photo well composed and the colours of the alpaca wool are so nice against the colour of the llama and the green background. Great shot. I'm going to add this to my favourites!

This is a really charming shot Wanda. The expressions on the faces of both the boy and his alpaca are priceless.
The colours are great and I like the defocused background. It would have been even better without the arm intruding on the right and the colouful blobs behind the animal's head.
Otherwise, a really good shot.
Cheers,
Ben

Hi Wanda,
I like this double portrait photo because it is high in colors, which is normal considering the place, you used here an appropriate wide aperture to blur the backgroud and this adds to the overall appeal, the choice of such a close framing does as well make sense to me because it is apparent on the right side that there are many other people around. Considering the date taken and the camera listed I envy you for having had to the possibility to try out such a pre-version of the EOS 350D ;-)
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Beautiful photo. I've just been in Peru and this photo recalls me all the experiences lived there, specially the contact with the people.
Thanks for sharing,

hi wanda,
i love this picture! it's full of life, innocence and beauty. Alpaca appears to be posing like a person :) i think the frame is a little tight on the left. still a lovely capture.

Hi Wanda,
Colourful and eye-magnet, this photo really stands out in your gallery.
I can see that you had to crop your subjects from surrounding people, but their expression really catch our attention. Great textures all over and good use of shallow depth of focus.
Best regards,
André
Coming back :)

Hey Wanda,
Look at the both of them posing! A lovely 'editorial'shot! A nice crop making the boy and the llama the centre of attention. Though its softness blends with the vivid colours and faces of both the elements! This photo makes it a perfect 'souvenier' or a keeper here in TE!
Regards,
Jom

Muy interesante y llena de apego, colorista y bien hecha. Las expresiones del crío y del animal son lo mejor y que más carácter aporta.

Hi wanda. A lovely double portrait.Wonderful colours and excellent details, particularly of the fabric. I find the boy's gaze enigmatic. What has he been told of his ancestors and their civilization and fate after the arrival of the spanish. What is he thinking as he sees another stranger from across the great sea?Could be just me, but he seems to be judging, assessing. On the other hand, he is just a little boy. Still, a photo that makes one think is a good photo indeed. Regards. Klaudio.

What a classic image of Peru, really beautiful double portrait of the Quechuan boy and his Lhamas. Color is not as vibrant, but supper rich and well saturated for this colorful culture of the Inca. Really wonderful shot. I know this is of your older shot, but it's timeless this image. Thanks
Way
