YOUNG MALE MALAYAN TIGER
These are a highly endangered species, and the rescue center has this young male tiger, which they hope will breed with their already existing female Malayan tiger.

BLACK LEOPARD
A new arrival at the rescue center. She was very friendly and very flirty, rolling about on her back and meowing, then staring at you as if she might be hungry. A magnificently beautiful animal

HI Salden, I think the skin color is a little too gray, and the exposure of the shot is a little off. Your rim light is stronger than the main light, and this could have been fixed in post. It looks as if she is in a shadow, and in a commercial beauty shot like this the focus is all on the face & skin, so the light would help bring the focus onto the central part of the face.
Besides that the skin is over softened with FS I believe, and yet there are more problems for D&B on her left cheek and the forehead. The lips outline is over-retouched and they look too perfectly outline, plus there's a very bright line above the upper lip, it looks a little distracting.
Hope this helps!
it helps me a lot, this would be my note for the next shoot and retouch...Thank you Julia
