sharp as a tack!! i wished you could lift the tiger off this one and give him a different bg, like an african plain. love the expression. may lighten the darker side of his face. nice job, OZ!!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Really like it too except for the grey bit underneath the chin. Nice series.

I like the capture and image Oscar. Suggestion; I think the image would present better if the tiger were not split between the green top background, and the lower beige/brown band that runs across. See what happens if you clone out the intense diffused green and replace it with the less intrusive brown/beige strip...:cool:
I also see a halo on the neck and around the ear of the tiger; looks like a post processing cloning artifact from Photo shop.

Hi Oscar - ohh to be able to see these guys in the wild - nice series. Personally find the BG a little distracting on this one.
Also see the halo in the neck area.
