I was working in my yard and moved the plastic runoff catcher for a water drain and found this guy underneath. What a pleasant surprise. I grabbed a leaf off our Peace Lily and started a photo session with my new little friend. Unfortunately 1/2 the session was JPG only due to the wrong camera setting, but this was the best of the bunch anyway.
After the shoot I put him back under the drain. Salamanders are a fun find.

I have to say, he has the gentlest and softess face and seems to be smiling at you. You just seem to want to keep him and love him forever. Amazing shot, well done
Hi there - Great shot and great expression.
Just a quickie - Do you really think the quality of the picture would have been better had it been Raw?
I have still yet to shoot a raw frame!
Cheers

Great image....I would have screamed first....then tried to save it's life from the dog. Then swoosh it back under the drain pipe. Only as an after thought, would I have actually had the great idea to photograph it. So well done.
So hows this score doing?? I'm guessing pretty darn high, Its my favorite in the group. This lil' bugger is just ooozing personality, Its been a pleasure to comment on this fantastic photo, good luck, I really hope it ribbons.. 10
This is amazing, not macro but nice non the less. The water drops on the leaf are perfect and he is saying i may look cute but ill eat your face off! keep up the great work
