Good framing, the salamander stands out clearly against the moss. The light on its skin gives it a slight sheen, which feels natural. You’ve kept the background soft without losing the subject’s presence.
How did you find the light when shooting this one?

Greetings, thank you for your kind words.
The light was absolutely natural, and I positioned myself so that the animal was properly lit.
I didn\'t use any lighting other than natural light

Smart. Natural light works best with small subjects like this — clean, no harsh shadows. You kept the exposure tight on the salamander, which is good.
