She is one of few young Tigers from Tadoba Andhari Tiger reserve in Maharashtra ,India.

All C & C are most welcome & appreciated
Hasshad,
You have made your home state proud, this is incredible. I love the composition, the colors, details, the sharpness..those eyes are too magnetic. The soft light makes this a very eye pleasing image.
You are the tiger king here...no competition, thanks for sharing such work.
Great eye contact, and love the stare. Good detail, colours and sharpness, and love those eyes. Comp wise, I would maybe take a bit off the LHS, and add a bit to the RHS.
Great find, light and eye contact. It must be quite an experience to see this species. I'm wondering what it would look like if the eyes were leveled, in other words a bit CW rotation and I might sharpen the face a little bit more.
Would only remove the extra catchlight from the right eye !!!
Just a stunning gorgeous image of a young tiger !!! Big Time Congrats !!!! ... any changes from the original is just personal taste. I was liking the slightly tighter re post but have to go with the original !!!
Thanks to all above for their efforts and comments. The problem with leveling the eyes is that the trees are tilted as a result; it would seem that the tiger has its head tilted a bit.
For this repost I eliminated a bit of vegetation in the l-r-c, did some work on the BKGR first with a 50% opacity and then with a 4 pixel Gaussian blur, lightened the whole thing, and did some eye repair as per Alfred's suggestion.
Harshad, there is an excellent tutorial on leveling images in Educational Resources (and also in Digital Basics). The trick is to draw a line through the pupils with the Ruler Tool and then to go Image/Rotate Canvas/Arbitrary.
ps: this is a wonderful image as noted above.
