What’s Your Preference?

I took this shot a couple of days ago at Sydney's Taronga Zoo and have a couple of things I would like some feedback on please.

Is the ISO noise too distracting?
Camera: Sony DSLR-A200
Exposure: 0.005 sec (1/200)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 200 mm
ISO Speed: 800
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: Off, Did not fire
Can you tell that it is shot through glass and if so, is it a problem?
I tried to process the image as realistically as possible - have I achieved a decent result with colours etc?

Any other comments of course would be most welcome

Cheers!

Seriously, nice job. You have the t-i-double-gerr looking right at you, eyes and face are sharp. You have foreground and background elements to give it depth.

Very Nice shot. Its super sharp for the focal length. I would have never guessed that is was shot through glass it looks great.

Very nice shot. That would make a nice post card for the zoo you were at.

Nice pic. I see nothing "wrong" at all. I might have chosen to "close his mouth" and add some additional "character" (catchlights maybe) to the eyes.....but that would be "more edited" and less "as it was" realistic.

Great shot and your processing is perfect!

Wow, nice tiger. He is looking right at you, great timing! He must have been hungry ;-) Can't even tell that you shot it through glass. Would not of known.
