Baby Tiger Cub Close-Up Portrait

A wildlife photograph of a baby tiger cub viewed head-on with an intense, curious gaze, peeking over a [textured, dark green surface]. The cub's large [brown eyes] are in critical, razor-sharp focus. Its rounded ears are perked up, and front paws with visible pads and small claws rest symmetrically on the ledge on either side of its face. Rich [orange-gold] fur with distinct black stripes, white fur accents on cheeks, inner ears, and chest, and long white whiskers spread from its muzzle. Soft, even natural lighting highlights fur textures and eye gloss. Shallow depth of field with a smooth, uniform [deep green bokeh] background isolating the subject. Balanced, tight portrait framing centered on the cub's head and paws.
