Happy New Year to you and all IBC Forum members, you are a great community.

I really like this Juniper, it really looks good from all sides. The last photo in the post immediately previous to this one makes a nice front, as does the first finished photo in the first post. The choice of a round pot is perfect, allowing display from any angle.

Very nice.

Nice tree indeed! (Or actually, nice does not doe this tree justice)

Interesting. I would have taken the second 'finished' foto in the original post, as it showsa wider base, which would balance the tree more, and shows the live veign (?) leaving the soil..

thank you all for you guys comment. I just finished shari work that you can see a bit more flow up direction.
for the front side ,I also can't thinking of which will be perfect one , so I would like to show you more picture that what I think it possible to be the front side.
side 1

side 2

side 3

side 4

side 5

side 6

side 7

for me the side 7 that I pay a little bit attention to.

Beautiful tree nicely styled. It looks great from several different angles.

For me the only flaw is the appearance of inverse taper at the base from some views. For this reason I think view 7 is weaker than some others. I would probably choose view 2 as "the front" but to be fair it looks pretty good from most angles and if you keep it in a round pot your not really forced to choose!

Cheers

Hello Apisit,
I really like side A as a front, because it shows the live vein upwards into the tree from all down to the nebari. This makes the base much more interesting for not only deadwood is shown.
I love this tree (like almost all your other trees) and I think seeing the bonsai in the starting material like you do is a true gift.
Thanks for showing!

Regards, Maarten

Thank you Maarten , I am grad to know that you like it.
like you said that about the feature point of side A I like that too, it's depend on personal , in the way of conservative some they don't like about inverse taper trunk base looks unstable, but for my personal I think inverse taper trunk is not a problem but it can be a part to play for a floated up composition , I just like the movement of smoke floated up in the air more than the way of giant stand still stable .

Ah, finally a withstander in the reverse taper discussion. Depends on the tree how bad it is though.
Hadn't looked at it in this smoky way, but yes, now I see it. The 'smoke tree' would do great on a misty mountaintop!
