Couldn't pass up entering an Expert Editing challenge. I had several ideas but didn't have the time to put them together, so hopefully this fits the challenge pretty well.
Base image + additional image taken on same day for the alligator's "smile" (just used portion of the mouth from 2nd photo).
PP included: crop, selective layers of Color Efex Pro (glamour glow, tonal contrast, bi-color user defined), levels, curves, sat/desat, dodge/burn, paintbrush on teeth, liquify (teeth, eye, & smile), NI, resize, save for Web.
Couldn't decide between "Dangerous" and "Smile" for the title! Then I considered "Your butt is mine..." from Bad - HAHA! |

| Those teeth. LOL Man, this is really great. That eye is piercing right through me. I can see this on the cover of a Florida magazine, or even in a World Wildlife Federation spread. The focus and detailing are perfect. :~) |
