Originality - oh well, we've all seen dozens of tiger portraits. I like the lit background, like the log sticking in from the bottom.
I'm going to speak about background a couple times - it creates technical issues, but it also makes the picture fresh and interesting for me, making me fav it unlike a number of run of the mill portraits I see here every day.
Technique - I wonder how the picture is lit, since with the very bright background, I'd expect the face to be dark. There's even a spark in one eye, which suggests another light source (was flash used?). The results are very pleasing - the tiger is sharp, lit decently and enough even with the bright lights behind, everything that should be seen is seen. The background gives mixed feelings, I've already praised it, but it also distracts from the tiger.
Impact - sue me, but I like bright colors and pretty lights and this picture gives a plenty. Most are in the background, but the deep orange color of the paws and in the middle of the head fur is also highly pleasing.
Composition is standard, with tension coming from slightly eccentric position of the tiger and bright vs. dark tones from left to right.
Closing point - it's a technically perfect and deeply satisfying picture I'm happy to incorporate into my feline collection.
