Original - Adansonia grandidieri, or Grandidier's Baobab, is endemic to Madagascar, and classified as endangered. It is the most striking and well-known of the baobabs of that island. Pictured is a specimen near Morondava.

Reason: These trees are a spectacular sight, and this one offers good resolution and other photographic qualities. Very good at 1200 [1], still mighty good at 1600 [2] and drops off a bit at full size. It would be only the second tree we'd have in featured picture form at this point in time.

Comment Size reference? How tall is this tree? Spikebrennan (talk) 15:37, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Literature says up to 25m, which this one has probably reached, or near enough. Alt with a person for reference. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 17:46, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This really needs some kind of size reference - the amazing this is that it's huge, and I'm not getting that from this photo. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 07:52, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Conditional~~ Support - If someone can confirm that there is no need for "tilt" correction (the water looks slightly slanted to me). --Dante Alighieri | Talk 17:41, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- According to the file history, Bernard corrected for tilt present in an earlier version. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 10:21, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
