They are quite nice, the trees themselves [structure] are very nice, but the foliage... - puts me in mind of a pretty girl who has just got caught in a sudden downpour.

Actually it is the progression of one tree, not multiple trees. Have you ever seen a weeping willow in spring? That is what I am simulating with this tree. It is not supposed to look like other bonsai.

Perfect ! Then my weeping tree is a complete success !!!! You got the emotion I was going for.

That is really good use of some unusual material! I would not have thought that the species would be suitable for bonsai but it is actually quite perfect for a weeping style! Much much better than most attempts to force a tree into a weeping form.

I love it! It reminds me of the trees which grew around a lake near where I grew up.
