Tigers are [one of] my favorite animals, so of course I love this.

The colors are really striking. I think whatever filter you've used has really added to the image. I love the contrast of the blue and orange. Then the teal color creates a nice "background/horizon" for the subject. That little punch of green is so perfect, it just draws my eye right to the cub. Together, the colors feel very modern or selected by a designer, giving a new look to a classic creature.

The little table leg that sticks out...I can't figure out if I like it or not. I wouldn't have known the green bit was a table without it, so I guess I like it.

Mostly, I just love the use of contrasting color to make the subject stand out, and this was masterfully cropped so that there are no distracting elements (yes, table leg included) that might take away from a young being's fascination with the world around itself. Also, minimalism is an idea that makes me think of Asian influence, so it all comes together well with the actual location where the photo was taken.

He was! And quite tame too. They were letting us pet him, which may or may not have been a good idea.

Thanks! I'm glad you like.

The color effect of the picture I owe mostly to the park's choice in paint. Everything was really bright and striking, and the cub really stood out. Though yeah, the table leg is distracting. I tried another version where it was cropped out, but the image looked too constrained so I settled for this one instead. The original shot had someone's shoe in it at the top right corner, and that definitely had to go.

I'd glad you liked the picture and the overall composition. Thanks!
