Well, here's hoping he is the only toy of Chris Robinson in this challenge -- but I doubt it. :P

Prediction? I would say about 5.2, but hopefully I've just been looking at it too long.

first off i must thank you for taking the time and entering the challnge,
Your photo, To me i think you used the rule of thirds well, tiger is in a good spot empahsizing his face, (its better then just taking a whole picture of him)
I think you could have used a black backgroud and really made his color stick out well, it would show more dimension also
the photo isnt all that sharp, could be sharper but not too much.
overall i think your photo is ethicaly composed well, but its just not a great subject, kinda just blah
Although the photo is sharp, I don't think it has good composition. It just feels rather dull, unfortunately. Try different angles, alter the lighting?
