 An Alpaca relaxing in it's stable. It seemed to me to have a expression of peace and serenity. I am sure it's not what the voting crowd is looking for in Zen. I predict a low 5 even though I like the shot. I adore Alpacas!
Taken with a Canon G10. I liked the way he glowed in the reflected sunlight.
PP... Mostly used Topaz Detail and Adjust.

Thanks Becky! I love animals and often feel at peace when I am with them. Some can't possibly understand this. I should have done a more general Zen with round rocks, smooth water, sticks, Asian objects, fish, leaves or pretty people in meditative poses. :)

Well this is an underrated shot. I have looked at it a couple of times I honestly fail to see pissed or angry. Always find it interesting what other people see looking at the same photo. I personally saw a very content and drowsy looking Alpaca.

A nice clear image. I thing he looks pissed, instead of at peace. Maybe that's because I was bit by one once :)

4 I am getting no emotion from this shot. I can never say DNMC because this may be your Zen. In an open challenge it would have scored higher

Great light, depth of field, and texture, but s/he looks pretty angry.
