[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a Vicuna (Vicugna vicugna), a wild cousin to llamas, near the city of Arequipa, Peru. Their wool is considered one of the finest in the world and is extremely precious as those animals don't breed in captivity.

Salut, Alexandre!
A sharp capture of this vicuna,
nicely situated in its natural habitat.
Light and focus are very good.
If possible, I would have cropped it with less space behind the vicuna, and more space in front, to give him more distance to look into. Placing the subject at the one-third point generally makes for a better composition (the rule of thirds). And since the vicuna is looking to the right, there should be one third behind him and two thirds in front of him. Hope that makes sense.
Merci pour le partage :>)
