The guanaco in Torres del Paine NP

The guanaco (Lama guanicoe) is a camelid animal native to South America. The guanaco's soft wool is second only to that of the vicuņa, a close relative. The colour varies very little, ranging from a light brown to dark cinnamon and shading to white underneath. Guanacos have grey faces and small straight ears. They are extremely striking with their large, alert brown eyes, streamlined form, and energetic pace.

Guanaco are found in the altiplano of Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Chile and Argentina. In Chile and Argentina they are more numerous in Patagonian regions, in places like the Torres del Paine National Park, and Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego in fact has an overpopulation of guanacos.
Current estimates place their numbers at 500,000.
Guanacos can run with a speed of 56 km (35 mi) per hour. The running is important for their survival, because in the open places where they live there is no place to hide.

Hi Malgorzata, a nice shot you have here. You've positioned the guanaco well here. Good detail and clarity. Background is nice and works very well to add depth. Good work, thanks.

Hi Malgorzata.Beautiful picture and nice colours.
Best regards, Bosko.

Hi Malgorzata,

...and the journey continues. An amazing picture of Patagonia - lookiing at it I realised that maybe the guanaco can be a bit lighter to make the composition even more appealing. So I made a WS to show you the steps.

Hello Malgorzata,

Lovely animals aren't they!
This is a fine portrait of this fellow in his natural environment...
Believe it or not, but there is a lady living in the outskirts of Trondheim who keeps a few lamas, and she use them to carry her groceries after shopping!!!

Greetings,
Pablo -
