Default Tiger

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to figure out what else can be done to make this photo "pop". I added saturation, contrast and fooled around with the color. Any suggestions

Thanks

Cropping in tighter. The story in the photo is in the one tiger's face.

Take a step to the right, rotate a little to the left and reshoot so that the nearer tiger doesn't obscure the face of the growling one...

I know that isn't particularly useful advice on post-processing but I think that, with a shot like this, the more you do to make the colours more intense or to crop in (as you've done above - a good crop in itself), the more the result suffers from missing the growling tiger's nose. Take more pictures and then spend your post-processing time on enhancing the best of them.

This is a great shot. The PP looks perfect to me. Great job!

for me it seems like thers have been added just a little too much saturation.. the tiger to the right is more a kind of "cartoon" orange if you know what i mean.. not so natural.. maybe a little less saturation would improve the picture! oh. and good cropped
