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.

Good work Dan.
With so many textures one could go nuts lighting it but your minimalist approach works.
A few things spring to mind.
First thing is, I might stomp the blacks a bit to help pop it and bring some separation. Next issue is a seemingly little one but in the world of product work it is key, and that is geometry.
The last thing is textures. I've actually done quite a bit of work for Glock, both in the US and in Austria, and I know how proud they are of the textures on the frame. So in this example I've brought that out a tad. I hope you don't mind but I tweaked your shot a bit to illustrate what I'm talking about.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks Julian!
A few things on my end.
I purposefully moved the levels so that the blacks weren't true black to give it a more matte look. The adjustment you made looks like mine did before I added the levels adjustment.
I don't understand your comment about geometry and how it relates to this image? Can you clarify?
I agree that the texture could have been enhanced a bit more.
BTW: I am a product photographer for Amazon's largest studio in the Jewelry and Watch department, so it's what I work on almost every day of the work week.
Hello Dan,
My hunch was that you had your hands in Product work. Cool.
Yea the blacks did punch up the frame a bit so I pulled some out of the side view -could've pulled a bit more.
The geometry comment and adjustment was to the side view. I simply leveled it so it was truly horizontal. Not a big deal. Keep up the good work.
