I think I have the colors right.  I left the background a little darker to put the focus on the tiger.  Too much do you think?

Good job - nice detail and tones on the tiger.  Not too much at all.  Most people are distracted by the blown out foreground.

Do you want me to try and tone down that hot spot?

How would you handle it??
If you want to give it a try that will only help you with later images that are similar...

not required....

Well Greg, I hope you are grading on the curve.  I tried two things, neither of which seemed to improve the image that much.  The first is a lizard tail.  The second was a mask.  I thought the mask was the most likely to succeed but I pulled the L curve down as much as I could but with really no improvement in the highlights.  Those pixels seem to have gone to a better place.
