Nice Image. The scent marking has come out well and eye contact is also nice. The light seems to have been a bit harsh.

Tough lighting conditions. The spray gets the attention. Wish the light was on the tiger's face. It is always nice watching the striped predator going about its routine.

Cheers,

I agree with Praveen.

You have donw well under tricky lighting. The eye contact is priceless here. May be, a slight boost in contrast is needed.
