This image was taken at Chobe National Park in Botswana on safari, and is of one of the few remaining baobab trees in the area. The image was taken near to sunset. Note the lower part of the tree bark has been damaged by the elephants.

Awesome shot. This looks huge and the naked branches are shaped in a such a dramatic way. You have done well with the white balance and composition.

What a dramatic capture Herman! The color of the sun on the tree is incredible. I see a deserted? nest in the upper branches of this beauty. Would that be your shadow that I detect on the ground in the lower left of the image? Do not fear, I cannot pass judgement, when I shoot an image with the sun behind me, I am always part of it in some way. There has to be a simple trick, but I have yet to find it :) this is just doggone good. Thanks for posting it and sharing it with us ~")

What an amazing tree. Such a huge trunk for the size of the branches. Is that some sort of water storage adaptation?

I've never seen a baobab tree before & this is beautiful. A really great shot Herman, I love the colors too & the asymettrical placement of your picture of the desktop was really good thinking ! Nice job ! So what I want to know is, were you on a safari ? And did you have fun ?
