my kids love this one. i like it, too, but wish you'd burned in the hotspots from the flash. they really detract from an otherwise fun image. love the contrast and the overall lighting. good luck in this and the coming challenges!
I love the leaf texture and the composition of this picture...the only improvement for me would be to see a little more detail or light on the salamander's head/face...
Interesting subject, and the leaf is terrific also, but the lighting seems a little harsh. Additionally, the sterility of the background doesn't really work with 'sally.' 5.
