Brilliant. You did well to get him again with the 105mm Macro. In context of your title the picture is fine. Tells a story which might go away or make no sense if you overcrop it. Use the Single point AF option I alluded to in a previous PAW post and place that on the black eye surrounded by white face. The D90 will AF accurately.
WTH is lying there? Grapes or Olives? :) Cheese and wine afternoon? hehe. Shoot RAW naturally, and correct the WB in Nikon View NX2, then convert to TIFF 8 bit. |

| Unfortunately, I have no words of wisdom on how to remove the blue tinge but others seem to have some good suggestions (that I will need to remember). I really like this capture and the white on white subject. It looks like you had a good day shooting. |

| Elements has a color cast remover, too. Nice capture of this cute and alert rabbit. |

It does look like it could disappear.
I haven't read Kroburg's article, so hopefully this won't be repeating the same info. You can adjust colour-cast in lab mode using channels a and b, I often use that method, and it works quite well. But, easier than that, if you have Nik Colour Efex, they have both a colour cast remover and a white neutralizer tool. Both work beautifully to get snow to look as we think it should look: white. Why are all those grapes on the ground? Rabbit food? |

| Well, you got lots of excellent answers to remove the bluish cast so I will stay out of that discussion - love the bunny .. did the coat turn for winter's camouflage or is always white? I loved it when I used to live because when it started to turn back brown you knew spring was right around the corner. I like Alice's suggestion of a tighter crop too - difficult getting whit eon white and you did it .. a nice shot to have. |

You know, this bunny would look good in a head and shoulder crop.
There's a lot of detail that probably could "go away" and still
make a good image.
Just a thought, of course. It must have been a triumph just to
get this little guy. |

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. |

| I think you did very well capturing a white bunny in white snow. That is hard to do. I don't think the snow is that bad. If you have photoshop you could use selective color and try to remove it that way. I am sure if you google there are tons of answers. I do not get snow where I live so I am really not much help :) |

This is a tough picture to get in focus - the rabbit was at least partially right, because I think the autofocus saw more of the higher contrast branches slightly to the back than of the rabbit. I'm watching this on my laptop, which is far from perfect, but your snow does look fairly decent, maybe a tad blue still.

Great image of that rabbit, lovely the way it is looking at you. I also like the composition.
As for the snow, can be difficult indeed. I once had an interesting article about it, was looking for it myself. Did find it this morning, here is a link to it:
