Since its raining tigers on the forum, thought Id share one too, albeit a captive one. This is an albino white tiger at our zoo.

Hi Sanjeev, good head turn toward you and overall comp works. Maybe another round of sharpness on the tiger though there may have been some movement. The tail area looks sharpest and then the head but not as much in between. Btw my understanding is that white tigers are due to a recessive gene and are not albino but I'm sure one of our resident tiger experts can confirm.

TFS,
Rachel

Hi Sanjeev, like the low POV/angle and the profile of the Tiger.

Very little you can do, but I find the BKG very cluttered, which is compounded with the heavy black wooden structure. I might look at applying some selective exposure just to get a bit more tone, or in Levels, some mid-tone, or try one of Roberts LCE methods just to the Tiger, just think it needs some more depth/detail in the overall body. Plus as Rachel mentioned, some selective sharpening just on the Tiger.
