Very nice. The flash looks natural, and everything else looks great. TY for post

Very nice close up of this little guy, Del. The focus is tack sharp where it needs to be, the eyes and face. The lighting, as Steven mentioned, looks natural. I like the position of the Salamander as well.

Hi Joshua, very nice. I like the composition with the critical focus on the head and being able to see the rest of the salamander curved in the back of the frame. well done.

Joshua, this is a good look at this little salamander. While this color pattern may be abnormal, it blends in well with the bark that it’s on.
