In Eureka Springs, Arkansas there is a refuge for exotic cats that have been rescued from people who want to own them and then realize they have no idea what they’re doing.

The original. I cropped in to the tiger’s face to focus on the face and to de-emphasize the fence that was closer to me (the fuzzy tan lines). I sharpened the whole picture and reduced the noise just a little. I used an adjustment brush on his eyes first to sharpen them. I then used another one on his face to sharpen his whole face. I increased the contrast and clarity sliders to make the colors more distinct. I increased the vibrancy just a little.
