Description


I've wondered why they call this the red-backed salamander since almost every image I've seen is decidedly orange... oh well... The species inhabits wooded slopes in eastern North America, west to Missouri, south to North Carolina, and north from southern Quebec and the Maritime provinces in Canada to Minnesota. It is mostly insectivorous, but does prey on a wide assortment of other small invertebrates including isopods, millipedes, centipedes, pseudo-scorpions, harvestmen, spiders, and gastropods.

Magnificent composition, amazing realistic environment and lighting, characters perfectly fits the scene, the scattered light, the realism is fantastic, it's hard to tell if it's a 3D scene or just a capture from a Discovery documentary.
Brilliant awesome render, Magnificent Masterpiece of finest Arts. I love it!

Lovely, realistic, picture. I have a possible suggestion for the 'Orange' being called 'Red'. Until the regular import of Oranges into the UK, all pink-red-orange colours were called 'red', as there was simply no other English word to differentiate the colour with yellow in it. It's why the European Robin with it's more frequently orange chest is called 'Robin Red Breast' as opposed to 'Robin Orange Breast'. The first recorded use of 'Orange' as a colour descriptor in English was apparently by Queen Margret Tudor (wife of James 4th of Scotland, - original comment incorrectly said Mary Tudor who was later) in 1502, and it's unlikely to have been widespread usage before migrants went to N America in the 1600's and came across the Salamander. Well, it's a plausible theory, don't think I could prove it either way.
