FYI,

I didn't change the colors, it was just after sunrise and the bunny was sunning itself. The pinkish/orange was the early sun coloration. Thanks for the comments. Van

Greetings from the Critique Club!

What a beautiful little rabbit. We have them around here once in a while and I just love them.

I loved this shot during the challenge and I still love it now. The composition, the cropping, the lighting are as close to perfect as you can get. But for some reason the coloration of the rabbit itself seemed just a bit off to me, don't know exactly why but it seemed a bit orange to me. Also the shadow behind the rabbit is almost too perfect, not sure if that is where you removed the vegetation but it looks off just a hair.

Otherwise this is a wonderful shot and I had given it a 9 during the challenge.

Good Luck In Future Challenges!

Great capture of this little bunny! Beautiful detail in the fur. And catchlight too. Nice.

I like the lighting and detail you've captured here. Almost painterly. Well done.

Absolutely beautiful capture of a beautiful animal. The white balance on the snow is perhaps just a tiny bit on the pink side, but hardly enough to notice. Lovely work. 8

Excellent photo. It may be my monitor, but the snow looks a little pink. I wonder if this is intentional, or was it just the natural light?

Very good shot. I know from experience they can be very hard to capture. The photo overall seems too red. The bunny seems a bit red to me, but especially the snow.

I think the image could use more negative space on the top or even to the right so the rabbit would be in the lower right or centered in the bottom. Excellent, otherwise.
