I am not sure why and how those smiles appear i haven't inserted any

What a beautiful creature - with a great expression. He sure does look hot. Appears to me to be just a bit oversharpened, and a slight CW rotation might help.

.. might be a glitch at our end !!! If you need any changes which you can't do just PM and will take care !!!

Like the pose and overall feel !! Good call on the sharpening, does look a little over Overall image is a little flat and can try to lighten the whites a bit for contrast !! In the re post tried lightening the light tones, small contrast increase using the pre-set curve (linear contrast) then darken the corners to draw attention to the tiger.... could have cropped a bit the right side !!! Excellent image !!!

Thanks Alfred for the repost.
This exactly what I was looking for in the image when I clicked it but I guess its high time for me to move to calibrated monitor
The issue of smile icons was not happening when I post my earlier image hence will wait for one more image if the issue persist will PM you

... btw what browser are you using now? Seems to make a difference, IE seems to have the most trouble We had a thread in ETL with lots of info regarding browsers, if I can find will post the link. Best to use Firefox or Safari both !!
