Hi Ben,wonderful flower that i never seen before,in fact the branch reminds a lot a mini baobab as you wrote. A very professional macro showing the best details and colors of this lovely species. Have a nice day and thanks,Luciano

Ciao Ben, great macro of fantastic flower, wonderful colors, fine details and splendid sharpness, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

Hi Ben,
Gorgeous photo, the unique flowers are tack sharp, the exposure is spot on and the red of the flower, especially where got a bit of sunshine, is wonderful. Spectacular shadow depth of field as well, and for the whole majestic composition, the chosen point of view is superb, too. Absolutely the photo of the day for me.
Kind regards from Ireland, László
