Hi Ken. I like the expression too, he seems interested in you but also a little confused. The constricted pupils suggests he was in some bright light and I think this contributes to the quizzical expression somehow. The framing is perhaps a wee bit tight, at the top, and perhaps elsewhere but that is a personal call in this case. Did you desaturate the colors here a little Ken, maybe it's just the lighting that is creating a slightly toned-down appearance.

John,
Thanks very much for your comment, much appreciated
Gary,
An interesting question you have posed, the Tiger was in the shade and I had a bright background so it was a little difficult. I can never remember what I do during processing as the shots generally require differing treatments, looking at this again I think a little mre depth in the colour would have helped
