Allée des baobabs

Thank you for your ratings and/or comments.

Very interesting trees. The whole scene holds interest, as the viewer's eye takes it all in. A good documentary photo with aesthetic appeal. A little busy. Some leaves on borders, which, if removed might make better.

Simply love it! Regards.

Strange and beautiful at the same time. Congratulations.

Axel, a picture with a frame is akin to a good dresser. This is good. No wonder your donated

photos to our Oncology Unit attracted attentions

from our patients who were in that room and from my colleagues.

 

Thank you for your generousity. Much appreciated.

 

 

I love your Baobad series, all of them, but I guess this is the best. It is so unusual, a bit eerie, completely out of this world.

nice picture of a big trees I know it from Angola..

 

people on the road give us the right dimension of it.

 

colours and compositions, right.

 

Congratulations.

Axel: I was looking at some of the different examples of this photo. They are all interesting. The trees look inflatable! While it's true there are many ways to crop this image, remove the leaves on the left, remove more of the road at the bottom, this is still an amazing image! I love the "blue" shirt on the young lady. I know it's not always possible to do some of the suggestions offered for a myriad of reasons and it's all so subjective and personal anyway. For example: I would love to see these trees during sunset shot through a telephoto lens! BUT, Maybe there's a mountain there that blocks the sun. I would love to use a telephoto lens to compress the shot but maybe one can't back up far enough due to a river or a buildiing directly behind us, like I said, a myriad of reasons. Whichever, whatever, this is a very interesting and beautiful shot and as I've learned the hard way, there is no perfection in the world and especially in photography. Great shot and all great suggestions.

Hello Paul, thank you very much for your comments! This site is rather famous and the most beautiful pictures are made during sunset. Search "baobab alley, madagascar" in Google and you'll find many many shots I guess. This is in the middle of nowhere, no village or mountains around (the road crosses swamp and grassland). Photography is never perfect as you say but this place is, as those trees are lined up and it's 100% natural. They are over 700-1000 years old! Best wishes, Axel.

baobab alley. i will remember that, thanks Axel, great shot!
