Wow - I totally blew the processing on this picture. I was really surprised when I saw the score in the 4's but I'm glad that I got plenty of comments about the green. I still don't see the green on my computer at work or at home - just a slight hint of green in the whiskers but by reading the comments, it must be much worse than I can perceive :-(
I think that:
I'm colorblind,
My monitor is not calibrated right,
or BOTH.

The comments have been very helpful in pointing me in the right direction. What I think the green tint came from the glass between me and the tiger.
Unfortunately, since I do have a degree of color blindness, I could not see this very easily, even with a calibrated monitor.

Some of the votes mentioned they would like to see this in B&W and some would like to see it w/out the unintentional green cast so here they are:

Goodness, yes, in answer to your comment box, the green is VIVID. Can you see if when you view the image from another monitor? We're not talking subtle here, it's dayglo! :)
I like the natural colour though processing makes it seem kind of soft focus and the close-up doesn't really speak wild to me, it shouts zoo zoo zoo!
MUCH better!!! Even though I wouldn't have scored it too high because it's a zoo shot it still would have pushed a 5.75-6.0 without the green color cast.
This is a beautiful shot of a very handsome tiger, the focus is good and I love the close crop. I don't feel the green adds much to the shot, personally I'd rather have seen him in his proper orange glory. Some green patchiness has leaked into his eyes too, which spoils them a bit. I wonder if you upped the green to hide reflections if he was shot behind glass? Still, if this is a glass shot, it's a very well done one.
