Post challenge: I do feel a need to explain myself just a little. What you see color wise, is exactly what I saw when I took this shot. I did not adjust the colors in any way! Therefore, the colors cannot be considered "unnatural". What you are seeing is bright sunlight coming through in shafts and filtering through trees. There is a big cage type screen on top of these glass enclosures. The glass is also tilted at a 45 degree angle. This did lead to some softness. But I thought the big cat going through those shafts of light just looked awesome. You all don't agree and I'm fine with that!

I'm one of those that also likes harshish lighting scenes, where the light plays on the subject, so I liked this one. I did think the blue was a bit strong, but what I liked best was the cat's eyes and the way he was looking at you, it seems! I think the composition is strong as well.
Yes, but the colors are un-natural. These could have been adjusted with the advanced editing rule-set, especially if the image had been more under-exposed.
