Nice image! I find myself wishing for a link to the larger view though. :wink: Excellent composition, detail, and light balance.

Well composed and the salamander stands out well from the moss.

Neat look at this little one hiding in the moss.

Well done, good color. I like the position you caught the salamander in. I do think you could crop some of the top off, down to the top of the hole which would make the salamander distinct. Also would like to see a larger version. Thanks for sharing.
