Amur Tiger ver. 2

Messing with gradient maps in Photoshop for the first time, I ended up with Ver. 1 of this photo, found here: www.flickr.com/photos/randomintelligence/3180560663/

 

I wasn't too happy with that output - and now that it's a few hours later and I have a much better understanding, here's a better version (at least in my opinion).
