Salamander in hand

Salamander in hand
Latin name: Plethodon cinereus

Janneke told me I just had to take a picture of the Eastern Redback Salamander she was holding. It came out rather nicely, with the sense of scale accentuated by the view of the size of Janneke's fingers relative to that of the salamander. Unlike when one photographs a salamander that is standing on the ground, you can see this one's profile and nostrils well.
