Smiley is a 7 foot long American alligator that we've been working with for a dozen years. As the title says, there has been a mutual trust built up over the years that makes a photo like this possible.
Photo was saturated, sharpened and cropped.
Lens: 50mm f1,4

Too mutual for me. lol I must ask is this guy real? He certainly looks real. A slight reduction in hue would help reduce the red coloration. It really needs a colot balance, but reducing the hue often solves this minor problem. A 7 for bravery.
Ohmygosh! How'd you do that! Is that real???? That is an amazing picture! I hope you gave us some detail on this picture in your photographer's comments! I love it!
The croc has that look in his eye: "Just as soon as I get the chance..."
And she has that look "Take the picture already so we can get started on my new handbag" ;-)
Nice shot.
Crikey, now there's a cuddly pet! Is it stuffed or live? And I wondered why people have pitbulls! This guy would have a pit bull for lunch. But your house doesn't look like a good environment to keep a gator. Good capture, though it would have been better to isolate the subjects from the background a bit more.
Are you out of your mind!!!!??? This is fun until someone loses a limb. I see the reptile smiling, so he must be happy....or hungry. Good color, every thing is nice and sharp.
