I wanted to show a daddy whose prowess on the grill keeps his barbecue in high demand. Alligators seemed like a good choice because of those jaws! That, and some big ol' daddy gators just get these great cheeks and jowls. I played around with the perspective, putting more emphasis on the crowd of kids, on the grill, on daddy gator. One of the neighbor kids has even snuck in for a plateful. Does the long bill on the cap help him blend in?
