This is a really great street shot...and proof that all street photography doesn't have to be in B&W.

Really sweet. Once they start running around and playing, it's really hard to get a good shot. You've done well. I somehow always get two rear ends.

Great. I keep looking at this image and finding new things.

Kroburg's article on fixing snow looks as good as anything I could find. The easiest approach is to shoot in raw, and fix the white balance during the raw conversion process. I suspect that everything is a bit blue, not just the snow.

Another approach...in Photoshop use a Color Fill Layer set to color blending mode, controlled with the opacity slider.

Choose new fill layer, set the blending mode to Color.

Pick the opposite color of your cast (helps to know basic color theory here - blue vs yellow, green vs magenta, red vs cyan and whatnot). In this case it would be yellow or orange.

Use the opacity slider of your new layer to control how strong the effect is. I find that 10-20% opacity will normally do the trick. In this case, since the color cast isn't very bad, 5% might be enough.

Ah, that makes sense. I knew it had to be closer than 1:1. I don't think I've ever seen a Christmas cactus in quite the same way.

Blowing Rocks. That sounds painful. ;-)

Definitely a lot of texture here. Very contrasty.
