branch across the pic is a bit distracting. also, seems subject is a little soft. a tricky picture - i'm sure these critters don't hand around for too long..

Is the newt an amphibian or reptile ("wildlife should be considered non-domesticated mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians ...")? Benefit of the doubt to you.

The line across the picture is distracting - a different crop would make this a better picture, I think.

lacks a bit of focus imho

I like how you captured the effect of the water around the newt. The grass in the foreground is distracting.

Cute newt but I think a different angle to eliminate that white blurry thing in the fg would have been a better composition

The focus is not quite right.
