That is one thick tree trunk. Beautiful green hues in the leaves gives it a 3D look. Contrast is very good.

What an amazing tree! As a bonsai enthusiast, I am drawn to trees and their shapes and ages. Incredible! Maybe could have used a little more definition on the trunk though. Nice picture!

beautiful photo, except for NG I would think you'd need to see the entire tree [limbs and all] as they're all about displaying the whole splendor or the subject.

good color. I like the way you filled the frame. Maybe tone the border down next time, doesn't need to be that large.

The colors are brilliant, and the tree seems to stand out from the others, as it should.

Where is this tree located... when I was last in South Africa we went to Kruger... is this anywhere between Johannasburg and Kruger? Nice picture.

a wide angle would do wonders for this shot... would accentuate the wide circumferance tooted in the title. great colors saturation.

My mother lives in Miami, and a good friend of hers has this tree growing in her yard....it is a young tree, and not much yet to look at yet. Recently, someone knocked on her door and offered her $10,000 for the tree! Amazing!! Nice photo!

Would be improved with a person for some scale

Very nice exposure

maybe at another point of view to be able to see the hole three and to appreciate more the circumference would be more interesting. A little over saturated tho. Beautiful place

Lot of detail in that title ;) Strong subject well placed in the frame. Small distraction of light area lower right. Good detail in trunk and branches.

Great tree to take a picture of would of liked to see the whole tree.

Why does the word 'baobab' remind me of bad habits long ignored? Can I blame it on Antoine de Saint Exupéry? (A nice shot - and well worthy of NG mag! It reveals to the readers something that many North Americans will find exotic & unusual!)
