Itoigawa - first styling

Hi all
Another Itoigawa waits for the first styling. Many healthy branches. You can see part of the trunk and Sari. It will be interesting to see what is hidden in this tree.

Next step.
The tree I gradually removed a few awkward branches. Cleaned tribe. At the bottom I found a very interesting branch.

Great job and great way to design the tree.

I am new at bonsai but let me tell you, that I've learned more reading this forum than in two years of books because of the practical and so varied examples.

Best regards,

Love that one Pavel

Very nice touch Pavel, but I feel that there is some confusion with the movement of the tree. The apex moves to the left, but the overall movement of the tree is heavily to the right.

I think the apex needs to be adjusted more to the right to balance the image out. Just my humble suggestion.

Thank you for sharing

Hi Luis , Smithy and a2khalid
Thank you for yours nice coments and compliments.

a2khalid - Compose leave as is. Unfortunately the photo does not show the whole trunk of the tree at the bottom. Clogs on the front edge of the bowl. Trunk begins in fact more on the left side. The top of the tree is now located on the right side enough. It's ending a rotating trunk. Slide the top even more to the right side of the tree out of the wilderness harmonnické contrast and dynamic balance. Too weighted edge of the bowl after transplanting future. Compositionally I am very satisfied in reality.
I hope you understand.

Gretings Pavel

Ah I understand. If the nebari is further to the left, it will certainly balance out the composition.

Cheers

Do you mean some wallachian tribal rites, Pavel?

Nejen Valašské Ondro.

Hi Pavel,

Nice work.

I've always wondered what you mean by "tribe" and "strain" This explains it perfectly????

It is a little mistake - tribe,trunk and strain are homonyms in czech.

Now I understand. Thanks.

Thank you very much Rob.

Hi all
One more photo. Also for a2khalid.
The red line shows the left edge of the trunk.

hello pavel,
It,s a nice transformation but in mine opinion the top off the tree is going to the left (movement) and the rest is going to the right.
i placed a photo off what i mean. just a idea!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Pavel
Great tree..... I was also playing around with a copy of the photo today, and Eric's picture was almostnexactly the same as what I had in my minds eye!!

Cheers

Hi Eric and Bryan
Thank you for nice replies and yours virtual.
Unfortunately, the tree would come to a very dynamic part. The picture still distorts small portion of cutting down the branches on the trunk. In the spring after transplanting will see everything. Thanks guys.
