i edited in acr, changed the white balance a bit, added contrast, blacks, saturation

in cs4 i cloned the water where it was really bright, and cropped out the white tiger, and cloned over his cage, some curve adjustments

Yours looks better than mine! Grrrr

Nice Dre, very natural looking!

I dont edit real well, so here was my try. I cropped, made some color and basic adjustments in LR, sent copies to PS hdr pro( -1 ,0,+1) messed around with it till I liked it, then adjusted some more in LR, which made the leaves in the water stick out too much, so I cloned them out, some dehaze on the rear rocks and very slight noise reduction. too much??

I want to play!

Color grading in camera raw, sharpening and some light burning and noise red in PS. No Crop.

ACR for basic exposure, white/black point adjustments then PS CC for sharpening, vibrance, cloning out overblown water, remove some distracting debris on the water, crop to 5:4 ratio and brighten the eyes a little.

Very nicely done.

To easy! Though to be fair I have the same issue with our local zoo. The tigers are behind thick dirty glass. So I have some practice editing tigers behind glass! Beyond basic adjustments. I turn down the green, blue and aqua channels to -100. Then crop for composition. And lastly painted around the tiger with an adjustment brush to desaturate all but the tiger. Helps make the tiger stand out from the background IMO. Also with this same brush I pushed clarity all the way up. All editing done in LR before moving it to PS to remove the background tiger and bars.

Processed in the SNS-HDR Pro.

not sure if 2 entries are allowed? If not you can disqualify my entries.
Raw file to silver effects pro. Used the wet rocks preset and back to LR for some tweaks,crop, and NR
