 Day 10 of Whatevers

Jutilda, this one's for you :-) Happy Birthday!

I know some people don't like the red-eyes on albino bunnies but in this case it seemed more appropriate to emphasize it.

BTW, Santa got a kiss because I hid some Craisins in his mustache ;-)

PP - converted from RAW, cropped, levels, white balance, reduced noise, 2nd layer (Gaussian blur, lightened, merged in multiply mode), dodged Violet's eye, added border, resized, sharpened, 3rd layer (added Christmas tree texture, erased it some from their faces, greened some dull background spots, merged in normal mode at 20% transparency).

Made me laugh to read you bribed the bunny with Craisins - and I actually thought that was a stuffed bunny at first!

Simply adorable! I think the red eyes are very cool, and your layer combination is very creative. I love that Violet is actually nuzzling Santa, even if she is just on the hunt for craisins :-)
