Hello John.

Well the background works fine for me and makes the newt stand out very nicely.

Thanks all. Interesting comments as the background is nothing like the underwater view of a newt would be like. I am working on darker backgrounds - even using out of focus prints on the back glass but its not that easy. At least I can sit on me backside doing it !!
Cheers

It looks ok to me John, almost as if you are looking up from the bottom of a pond with the sky above :toast:
