Beautiful picture ! May I ask how you got that nice lighting on the tiger while keeping the background so dark ?

The tiger is in an enclosure that put shade behind him. I just took the pic at the right time with how the sun was positioned. I did use a mask in Lightroom to get the tiger to pop a bit but it's a pretty light touch.
