Love how she pops from the BG, Haseeb.
I do wish you could have gone for a tad more DOF, as the snout/mouth is decidedly OOF compared to the eyes...I know the Mk4 is not as good at high ISO as say the 1Dx, but perhaps going f4 at ISO2500 was an option?
Love the colours of her eyes and how the overcast/soft light has brought that out.

Hi Haseeb - Agree with Morkel's comments but this is a very nice portrait of the tiger and she gave you a regal pose. I'm seeing a slight amount of red and magenta in some of the whites, particularly the outermost white on the face and on the neck.
TFS,
Rachel

This tiger just pops out of the background! You have captured a compelling pose with a slight up-tilt of the head, allowing really nice details and colors in the eyes. I also enjoy the hair details at the top of the head and especially the ears! I also think adding a bit of canvas to the top would improve the composition as presented.

Hello Haseeb,
You really got something so special here, I have been staring at this tiger image for the past hour, I think...Even my espresso has gone cold!
Lovely portrait of this not-so-innocent and certainly not pliable to human will tiger female - I took great pleasure viewing and the subject as portrayed gave me a feeling of smallness as well as delight:)
A creature of such vast strength demands awe and respect, and I believe your image gives her justice to a great extent. I like the way you captured her, slightly looking up and with this royal, almost arrogant look in her eyes.
In terms of processing I feel you could dedicate a bit more time to this lovely frame. Although I like the composition as is, I would explore with various versions as per suggestions above. I too see colour casts, what bothers me also is those blacks which appear slightly chocked in places, and in critical areas they tend to give a crunchy appearance. I am certain that more detail can be revealed around the nostrils, eyes, and ears.
Hasseb, I tried to do an RP but just could not demonstrate what I meant above, you might have applied too much contrast and perhaps a bit heavy handed with levels and curves during PP work, I did a lousy job I am afraid and the blacks are still there. I would love to see an RP from you though, starting afresh, with changes applied selectively and no contrast whatsoever if possible, if you need any help I am happy to try again, just send me a PM and I will forward you my email address.
I just love this so much, one of your finest close-ups and I am so taken with Rajbehra, thank you so much for sharing
Kind regards,

Hi Haseeb, just back so only have limited time this week for a very quick 'in & out' for comments. She is gorgeous and in prime condition, a real regal lady!
For me, a pose like this cry's out for going portrait, or, as presented smaller in frame, but still off set, however since this was taken I think you have a lot more knowledge and vision under your belt. Certainly more DoF would have helped, abet a fraction more and I would suggest you push the ISO now and practice to get a feel for the MKIV, but certainly it's polls apart from the 1DX in terms of ISO capability for sure, but that's another story. Agree with Rachel on the Red, would also consider reducing both purple & magenta, however this would need to be done selectively so not to 'globally adjust' and reduce colour elsewhere i.e. in the nose. The blacks are clipped, so backing off in both the blacks and perhaps contrast or if you added any, Clarity too, it may also help the slight crunchy look in parts too. The diffused backdrop works well to isolate and give prominence to the subject.
I think you did extremely well under the circumstances, but look forward to more with your new found knowledge.
TFS
