The color and the composition are very nice as well as the action. You will probably get this comment more then once, it would have enhanced the image a lot if you could see the face.

Nice capture of interesting behavior. I see domestic cats rub the preauricular area of their head on strategic places, this big cat does the same. The warm colors in the environment here are wonderful and the curve of the tree trunk is quite artistic. I didn't notice immediately, but there appears to be some page wire on the tree I think, a bit unfortunate. This angle really shows the beautiful tiger stripes!

Jagdeep, the curves of the tree and the curves of the subject make this image work! :toast:

Jagdeep, my first thoughts were exactly the same as Vincent's!

Cool.
