Hate to say it, but the before and after pictures and everything in between all still look like salamanders. That's called "microevolution" and nobody disputes it.

That's like looking at humans, chimps, gorillas and bonobos [sp?] and saying, 'they all still look like primates.'

The difference involves the question of evolving into new kinds of creatures, new basic plans for existence, new kinds of organs, new requirements for systems integration between the old and new organs and the various new kinds of organs.

Going from a chimp to a human is not as flagrant as going from a lizard to a bird, but it does involve new basic plans for life (legs become the major limbs), new capabilities for old organs (speech) and enough genetic change that it couldn't happen or even come close to happening even in the 10 million year time span claimed.

The fossil record doesn't show any such macrochanges, good calculations show a quadrillion-year time requirement for such changes even assuming they were possible, and recent findings regarding dinosaurs pretty much indicate that the tens-of-millions-of-years time frames which the evos claim and require for their schemes are in fact fiction.

In other words, you're dealing with total BS.
