Boab Sentinals, Kimberley, Western Australia

[Jill H]

Hi, I am new to posting, so this is my first post. I took this photo on a recent trip through the magnificent Kimberley area of northern Western Australia. These boab trees are everywhere - many in weird and wonderful shapes. The bulbous bases store water in the fibre of the tree. I liked the way these particular trees in this photo were twined together and stand out against the flat bare background and the blue sky. What do you think?

Yes, i like the trees as if they were hugging each other, interesting view, I suggest a tighter crop maybe removing the far right tree, IMO is better. Lighting probably a bit harsh due to the sun, midday shot..?

Thanks Wal. I took several shots - one of which was a vertical focusing mainly on these two trees. This photo was taken at 9.50am - but it was a 38C day - so very hot and the light up in the Kimberley can be very harsh. I guess that is the problem with travelling - yu have to take the photo when you can. Sorry for being dense - "IMO" ??

IMO - In My Opinion.
