when you post a picture- after the text it is best to hit return- that way the photo will come after everything you write and not split your words like it did above. also if you ever post several pictures -do return each time after the links, that way one picture will not be side by side with another....just some tips....
looks like youve got the depth of field thing down well. i dont know what sort of camera you have -but if the plants in the foreground (or the tank glass for that matter) give you and problem with focusing -many digital cameras now have manual focus-it is not as obvious as the ones that used to be on SLR's (unless like tim you have a digital SLR) but you can preset some to distances of .1m or .3m or eve 2m if you need it and then step forward or back to put in exact focus. this was what worked for me with my taricha torosa sierrae shots-they moved very fast so by the time i had them in focus they had moved on (i was doing lots of macro and close up work).
i like the second shot best -very into her world sort of shot. how on earth do you keep that plant alive? i can never get those things to live!
p.s. - you sure those are males? if those are vulgaris they look like females to me - their spots are few and small. i keep the nominate form and big spots/louder patterns indicate males.

Jennifer you are correct the newt in the picture is an T.Vulgaris.
Paris tanks for your advice i will try this next time, the plant in the picture is an herb i often use for cooking( Melissa officinalis) it like to have its feet wet or moist,if you give it some direct sunlight and good ventilation it will do fine, have always learned that newts do not like direct sunlight, but when the light is on they do not seem to hide away like my
T.Cristatus almost always does, they actually seem to like going very close to the light??) .
The newt in the picture actually can be a female because i have never seen it in a breeding dress, too tell the truth i am having trouble separating them after they loose their breeding dresses and go to land.
