The Best Picture I Ever Took?

So, I'm not much of a pro photographer--I don't use external flashes on stands, I use a point-and-shoot because I don't know how to fiddle with aperture and focus and stuff, and I'm always more concerned with getting people to look happy than with getting the lighting just right. But I do like to take pictures of interesting things, and I like trying to make pictures look good. Today I was flipping through my pictures on my computer, looking for a picture of Michael and I for the ward directory, and I found this gem:



I took an animal husbandry class my last semester at BYU, and we went to see an alpaca farm one day. I just love everything about this photo--I love the different colors of the alpacas, I love that they're all doing their own thing (except for the one guy who's looking straight at me), I love the angular outline of the shed in the back, I love that you can look at the background and really see that we were out in the middle of nowhere in Utah. I especially love that furry bro on the left with his little mouf full of hay. So funny! I just think that the composition and subjects in this photo turned out particularly well, and I'm pretty fond of it.
