*Composition (content)*
I like how the two points of interest fill the screen. The colors in the hat are really striking. As others have said, just a tad bit of the child face showing may have sparked a more human interest feeling with the shot. As I mentioned in my original comment, the only thing that is a little off is that the child seems a tad out of focus, otherwise your composition and subject matter are good.
*Background*
You have deep focus on this shot which helps the viewer realize that this is a farm setting. The sky is clean without digital noise and the green of the grass is a nice contrast to the orange in the childs clothing.
*Camera Work (Technical)*
Other than your focus being a little off on the child, you have a nice clean shot. Colors are good and although the llama may be a little to bright on the right, it's not distracting enough to be a concern.
*Digital Processing (technical)*
Sharpening is very good (not too soft and no trace of over sharpening).
Balance between light and dark is good. Llama may be a tad bright on the right.
Compression is good (no jpeg artifacts)
*My opinion*
This is a good shot. It is an interesting composition and makes me wonder what the Llama is thinking about the kid and vise versa. Having your perspective at the childs level helps sell the point of the kids interest in the animal. Nicely done shot.
