EXPERIENCE
I see the side profile of the head of a tiger staring intently at something right in front of them.

ELEMENTS
The technique on this piece is flawless. You've got the efficient angle of a predator's face from the tip of the nose to the top of the head, the eyes are aimed forward with the gaze of a hunter and the neck merges into the body to exhibit the raw power and strength of this animal.

But what makes this piece go beyond technical excellence is that you've been able to combine the elements in the piece to capture the spirit of the tiger. I see some wildlife artists make their wildlife look like pets or over humanize the face and it reflects a real lack of vision. Wildlife is wild and it has its own spirit and the gift of a true wildlife artist is to really see... and then share the revelation of that spirit with others. Well done.

EVALUATION
This is an OUTSTANDING piece of work. You have a lot of pieces in your gallery but, for me this is easily top 5, if not top 3. Magnificent.
