Our Pregnant Alpaca Exanadu love to eat the Mulberry leaves (only so far) for breakfast :)

Aww, how sweet. My eyes are "tricked" a bit when looking at your background. In some ways it kind of looks like a cloth type backdrop. I like the browns on the animal though, nice contrast to the rest of your image.
What a cool looking creature (llama?) and a great setting. Unfortunately I am not fond of your processing, the animal looks cut and pasted onto the background. Sorry.
Wow! Here's some extreme use of the HDR effect... Normally I'm a fan, but I think this would look better as a painting or with a more painted feel applied. 6
