I'm not sure if it'll work on that dent but I have tried this in the past with some success for popping dents.

Go get a can of compressed air (the duster type). Take a hair dryer and heat the center area for about 30 seconds, the immediately turn the can upside down and spray the same area for about 10 seconds. Then wait to see if it pops out.  This should not damage the paint (any further than it might be already).

Ive done that before and it does work but for dents with no pronounced creases.  If the metal is creased there is not much hope to pop it out without damage to the paint from cracking or popping out any part of the dent.  In addition at least from what Ive experienced the dent needs to be at least a 2"+ across before that method will work.  What Ive done on larger no crease dents is heat the center and put a suction cup to it and pull it out.  There again the dent needs to be smooth and not sharp with no creases in the metal or it really won't work correctly and cracks the paint at that point.

Looks great, for that dent I'd contact a paintless dent repair service, depending on how experienced they are you'll never know it was there.  Premium used car lots are a good place to get referrals.
