    Thank you Harshad, it is a real beauty. I thought the tiger parks were closed in the monsoon season, perhaps not all? Certainly gives a lush feel to the image. Really nice eyes, it amazes me how gorgeous tiger eye are. I was hoping for a cub so thank you

    A beautiful image of this young cub Harshad, with nice detail and facial markings. Love the curious look so typical of youngsters captured here.

    Since the cub's image to me is about the eyes, think I'd like the cub looking at me and the eyes more/brighter lit.
    The secondary supporting part of the image for me, that I like a lot, is the lush green as you pointed out.

    Bhai this is a wonderful portrait, very cute cub! I love the lush greens of the jungle too...only thing is I feel the greens have put a cast or greenish glow on the tiger.

    Hope you don't mind the repost, I did a selection of the cub and did a slight "color balance" adjustment in PS for shadows, midtones and highlights equally:

    Magenta/Green: -4 (thus towards magenta)
    Yellow/Blue: +2 (thus towards blue)

    Not an expert on the actual colours of tigers but from what I've seen in your other images, this works for me and you still have the lush jungle greens all around...what do you think?
