Tiger shot nice. Crop it closer. Up the saturation. Mess with the contrast. The basic shot is really good.

Thanks. I actually have a closer shot of the tiger but I thought that it was too close.

I really don't think it is too close. You have a nice sharp shot there. If you took this in raw, you can get a spectacular finished shot out of this, but it is very good as it is. But I don't think the background or the hind quarters of the cat are adding much. You have that face in SHARP focus. Crop on it and bump up contrast, sharpness and saturation. Just as an experiment.
