Nice capture (pun intended).  It looks like the color is a little off.  Also, the leaves in front of the face are distracting.  I also think it could use some more contrast.  On the bright side are the eyes - they are sharp and crisp, as are the whiskers and the rest of the face.  Good use of shutter speed and aperture.

Hi, Let's forget she's a tiger and let me put my comments on the shot: first I'd like to have the shoot taken not from above the subject but at the same level, second, in my opinion you should add contrast, third I'd like to see her eyes perfectly on focus. Being said that, I can imagine that it could be not easy to choose a free angle while shooting to a tiger then 2TU.

In regards to getting a shot on same level, not to easy, you shoot from an elevated platform, and where you can get a shot on a similar level she is quite far away and usually behind bushes. Tim
