Hello Jonathan
I think I would leave her in, as I think its as you might expect to see them in the wild and there is enough detail in the Doe to make her more than a distracting brown blob.. I am having thoughts that this may be a little tight on the top, however I am not convinced. ( when critiquing its easy to do the scroll bar crop but its a little more difficult to do a mental 'add canvas'...).

Hi Jonathan - I think it works well with both of them in. Nice low pov and pleasing complementary tones to the bg. I hope you have good luck tomorrow.
TFS,
Rachel

I think I will take a 'Rain check' until tomorrow Jonathan, I will then be back to a calibrated monitor then, but if you get info on the colour breakdown, the Red & Yellow is quite high.

Very nice pose from the front hare and the OOF one in the BG works nicely. Repost is an improvement still a little orange but better.

Hi Jonathan,
all in all love the image in all terms.
great expression and caught action.

Hi Jonathan,
Love both in the image. Jill is cute :))
The color try to get a grip of the color of Steve's RP.
Just pull Steve's image into PS as well and toggle between yours and Steve's to get close to it. But watch it that you do not adjust at the end Steve's image
Have a great eve
Ciao

Lovely image Jonathan, as with the general consensus i too like the OOF Hare in. Comp and POV is great and very pleasing. Colour wise a little too red in your OP and your RP however your RP is better, i would probably look at something Between your RP and Steves.

Nice low angle here Jonathan, and I like the OOF one behind.
I would also suggest getting the colour somewhere between Steve's and your repost.

Hi Jonathan, as I have said before, getting the WB looking right is the key and rarely do I change the Tint, you can balance it out later with regard to Yellows, Reds, blues etc within the RAW conversion, or in PS, but best in RAW as you are dealing with the RAW, not a TIFF which then has pixels. Now back and on a calibrated monitor mine does look a little washed out, your second RP to me looks about spot on, albeit a slight drop in the yellow & red, but perhaps just a fraction and all personal taste, so second version gets my vote. Don't forget, you can be selective with any part of the image with adjustment layers and masks.
If in doubt Jon, drop me a line and we can have a chat.

Great low angle Jonathan. Your last repost looks best to me and I have to admit I am excited that I first noticed a magenta cast which means I am getting better at the whole color cast thing. I struggle with spotting it right away. I think the image works.

Cheryl, I think it is a case of having a mindset concerning colour. I have to admit that my first reaction to a raw file is to check the exposure levels and highlights contrast etc, I often forget to check colour temp of Hue etc. I will try in future to make this a primary concern.
I attach the location of an interesting tool. It is a colour Hue test and it takes a few minutes to complete, it will determine for you just how accurate your colour perception is. I was very surprised when I did it, first time I scored well, I then left it for a couple of days and then I repeated it and I got the perfect score....... I haven't gone back since because I don't want to score less!!

What a great link -- thanks! Almost as much challenge as a Rubik's cube!
It probably scores your monitor as much as you.
I find Steve's repost dealt with the color cast the best.
