    Default Obstacle

    Here's one from August that got lost in the shuffle for a bit. It was taken the same day as the other newt photo I put up a couple weeks ago, but it's not the same one. I liked this for the juxtaposition of the tiny salamander and the tree root, and the texture of the skin. Its little, curled, semi-translucent tail is just a bonus.

    i see the juxtaposition - it's about size
    The tree root overpowers the little salamander in size. If I'm wrong just slap me WD.
    Nice one WD - really dig the vibrant colour as well as the comp.

    Really like the perspective on this one WD, and yes, I can see the salamander contemplating on how to clear the hurdle in front of it.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!

    another proof that one has to get on one's knees and belly once in a while to get the optimum shot. Love the DoF in this one as well; ther curly tail does add a lot of interest to the image. Well done.
