I like the complimentary colors of your border. He(she) seems focused on something or someone. Cool shot of a great animal. -BB

A well imagined, captured and presented example of this now tiresome genre. Don't worry, I gave it a good score, but it's getting harder and harder to score tigers highly.

Good framing. I would be interested to see how it would look with a bit more saturation. But it's good work.
