I agree with you. My goal was going for a lot of (deliberately exaggerated) contrast and depth. The other renditions have a much more natural color. “My” tiger is more reddish and lacks the yellow and has a less pink nose (the yellow that makes a tiger a tyger 
). I didn’t want magenta/purple in the wood below the tiger. I used the G’MIC “Mixer [PCA]” filter and G’MIC “curves”. With the “Mixer [PCA]” filter I reduced the variability in magenta/blue-green/yello. Therefore less green, yellow and magenta, still there is some green behind the tiger. Then I balanced the result with curves.

The noise reduction of RawTherapee alters substantially the colors, so I left the noise.

This needs some proper music to go along with it.

I adjusted the raw black points first, to de-bias the green glass.
Local adjustment spot on the face for some increased light. Other spots used to shore up excess chroma which was distracting from the subject.

Edit: I see now I left some highlights on the right out of whack.
Thanks for sharing, Bill. To my eyes (and on my monitor) - each of which have their own biases - the tiger still has too much of a greenish cast.
I agree, Martin. I’m still trying to figure that out.
The Survivor music video shows that it is completely fine to have colour casts.
