I seriously didn’t know alpacas could swim. Guessing this was shot early morning? Interesting crop, but would love to see the whole frame …. a terrific result and congratulations on the win and the features.
Thanks David, it was so much swimming as walk in and lay down get allwet and getout. Yes the shot was in the morning 6:30ish, just as the fog was lifting. The crop was due to the Polarizer causing some banding at the top of the shot instead of trying to fix it I just cropped it. I should have may it more square perhaps?
