Llama of Mystery [Llamas, Alpacha, Camels, and hooved animals]

I thought that this very large brown llama, who seemed to like me (smile), needed a touch of mystery.
-----------
Used an OnOne Phototools preset to achieve this look. Then did a little dodging to bring out some highlights in his fur.
----------
Shot this at the Sheep and Fiber festival at the Hunterdon County Fairgrounds in Ringoes, NJ last weekend.

I couldn't see him until I enlarged it. But I can't see much of anything in the morning after I put in my eye drops for a couple hours. #1181463Douglas Pignet September 17, 2009
Boy this one is hard to see. I think he wanted to stay in the shadows.... #7950866Ron McEwan September 17, 2009
I guess if you are going to get this close, I had better use a tic tac LOL. Your imagination never ceases to amaze me Michelle, this is a good one.The test is an annual thing ever since my heart surgery six years ago. I crammed hard for this test and passed with flying colors LOL. #7950909

This must be Lloyd the Llama? Why does it take two "L"s in these words? What the "L" :0) Terrific moody closeup Michelle! I like the eye sparkle and slight details in the harness and fur!! #7950954David Phalen September 17, 2009

You go to the most interesting places, and you do the most interesting things with your images too. Like it a lot. #7951558A P September 17, 2009
this is a real LOW KEY capture, Michelle. Is he smiling?? LOL #7951685Michelle Alton September 17, 2009
Hmm...I think he looks a little brighter on my monitor than on some of the others... He had a sort of sly smile...I have two shots of a white female and she is smiling broadly in one shot...and grinning in the other...I'll post both below. #7951705
