The composition is centered, placing the thick trunk in the middle of the frame, with branches extending naturally on either side to maintain symmetry and completeness. The shot includes the main trunk and the branches extending upwards, with a bit of sky in the background to add depth. Admission: $50/adult, $25/student, senior.
