Larch yamadori - 2005

Hi friends.

I want to introduce Larch Yamadori. Colected in 2005, or 2004, I do not know.
I decided to establish the first shape.Which direction to go? I have several versions.
But I'm curious about your ideas and possible solutions.
About a year ago, I began to change the position of the tribe. Unfortunately, the original situation has photos. I marked the red line. Thanks for any suggestions.

Pavel

Okay, I'll start with 2 suggestions.. there is a third nice way to go, I'll leave it to someone else:

Hi Dorothy, thank you very much for your virtual. Nice idea.

I tried to create more variation. Now when viewing pictures, I would say might be still more tilt to the left.

I love the virtuals that you have for the tree and the progression of the tree is is outstanding. Where did you get the software for the virtuals? And is there a free version that I can download for my personal use?

Nice work Pav!!!

Like your virts too dorothy

Hi all.

Larch completed in a composition with the lower branches.

This is very nicely done : when I saw the first photos you posted, i really wondered how you would style it in the end.

But there is something that is catching my eye : there is the very soft curve of the trunk you've bent, and the first two branches look like a horse shoe. There shape is very regular because considering the height of the tree, they look as if they were opposite branches. What's more they seem to be off the axis of the rest of the tree.

What do you think ?

Thank you Alain for coment. Unfortunately, this place bothers me. Fortunately, only pictures. In reality, I'm quite happy. I'll try taking a picture of a tree in daylight.
In reality, is a branch on the back side of the tree deployed 6 cm higher than the branch in front.

Now that you are saying it, and after looking at the other pictures again, I understand it better.

Since you are very patient with my interfering, I still think that there's something that has to be done about these two branches.

As a non-professional, old student in bonsai, I remember what I was told about "windswept" style/form/category : it's an easy way, but very few "windswept" trees look natural, and what seems an easy solution for a beginner is something difficult to achieve.

But this being said, why not :

I find that thus, the curve marked in red in my previous post would look more "justified", and the second branch as well as the first one would be more in the overall movement suggested by the curve in the trunk...

And yes, there are real artists east of the Greenwich meridian, keep up the good work, znajomy

Hi Alain, thank you for coment and virtual.
Sorry, but my idea for the future is completely different than your virtual.

Pavel

I understand : I was 100% certain you wouldn't change your mind whatever anyone suggested

So, how do you see its future ?...

Thanks Alain. Certainly any proposal, new, other solution is a good think. In the future, I have mainly grow branches on the right and left of the top. The tree at the top of a light, pulled left and flowing down the trunk. Breaking ugly strain curve at the top.

Pavel

Hi Pavel,
I think that your idea to hide trunk with the lowest branch isnt so good.

I borrowed a picture from your pages ...sorry


When is tree foliaged there isnt any movement and I feel and see only simply bow .
Balance between a crown and low branches is a little primitive .
Volume of foliage in my opinion isnt in good balance with trunk..
