EDITORS COMMENTS
"This striking image of a Crested Newt (Triturus carnifex), also known as the Italian Crested Newt or the Eastern European Crested Newt, was captured in Gelderland, The Netherlands, during the spring month of April. The Crested Newt is a true salamander belonging to the family Salamandridae, and is a rare and elusive amphibian species native to Western Europe. This photograph, which won both the Amphibians category of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards (WPOY) Competition 2015 and the Underwater Category of the GDT Photography Awards 2015, showcases the unique and intriguing features of this enigmatic creature. The Crested Newt is named for the distinctive crests and warts that run along its spine, which can be seen in this low angle, backlit shot. The eerie, moody atmosphere created by the black and white, monochromatic palette adds to the sense of mystery and intrigue surrounding this elusive amphibian. The Crested Newt is typically found in open, outdoor environments, such as ponds, marshes, and wetlands. In this image, the newt can be seen crawling along the underside of a tree or plant, its ventral view revealing the intricate details of its underside. The unusual angle of the photograph, combined with the natural setting and the silhouetted tree in the background, creates a captivating and visually striking image that showcases the beauty and uniqueness of this fascinating creature."
