Quite remarkable; a magnificent animal that I feel fortunate to see by viewing your finely detailed photo. 8)

Beautiful expression. Possibly a bit soft but I think that it works well for this image.

Nice portrait Dave. It looks like it could use a little more USM and a little more contrast.

This has to be one of my all time favourites of your Tiger shots Dave, that expression is stunning. I agree that for some reason it doesn't look as sharp as your original but that doesn't detract from it being a gorgeous portrait - another MUST HAVE on the wall!!! 8) 8) 8)

Classic composition. I would push the colors a little.

An excellent portrait! The color look a bit muted to me. A boost in saturation might make the colors look more like the tiger my mind expects to see. Of course, that's just one opinion and no professional has passed judgement on the soundness of my mind!

Would that my wife would say anything is a must have on the wall!

My favorite of you tiger shots. Great look at you.
