Took this one morning after a new fallen snow. The elk take on a different look in the snow and I am glad we had the opportunity to see them in the snow as the weather had been between 70 and 80 in the Tetons.
Awesome Judy, both have a color cast, but I like the blue as it gives it that cold feeling. Great eye contact looks like your guide put you on great photo opts.
Thank you Alfred. Thought I was going mad. Does look a tad green. Problem being that I expect snow to have a blue cast, particularly in the shade. So we have a base, my take was in Color Balance, CS4, +8 red, +4 green, -4 blue. Tiny tickle via new layer of selective sharpening on the Elk, at 60%, 0.6 Smart Sharpen in Luminosity Blend mode, then reduced to 47%: flattened. (trying to bring more detail in the hide). Understand all tricky, and depends much on monitor calibration. (and our failing eyes.....lol, :D). Hope of use. By the way, fine, fine shot Judy, and the look back, awesome. Congrats.

Personally, I like the color cast just the way it is in the original image.
It was cold out and the slight blue cast makes the image look and feel cold.
