I like Luis' 3rd submission. It reminds me of a "sassy" lady with her hand on her hip. I mean this in no negative manner. I really do enjoy the submission. I enjoy the balance it hold and the space it maintains.

Second attempt. Tilted slightly to the right for balance and I decided to draw it this time.

I'm posting this for Moshe Emergui.

Hi,
In the picture three, this really beautiful hawthorn.

Just my 2 cents....

And another.......

Just an observation. It's interesting how many of these (great) images look like pine trees, rather than hawthorns or other deciduous trees. I wonder if that says something about some kind of shared ideal of what a bonsai 'should' look like (even though the specific details of the virtuals vary widely).

Hi Tom, this is an area that I am covering in my presentation... come to Bath and make your feelings know in the presentation.

Wish I could - unfortunately otherwise engaged. Maybe next year.

That's because this trunk begs the literati style - normally associated with pines but can apply to other tees such as prunus and buttonwood.

Hi,

Another, which I prefer

Fantastic!!!
This is the Pascal

Thank you Mario

Pascal47,
You get my vote, pinesque or not.
Is that Dexter?
Big Dexter fan here.

I have to agree as well, it's a fantastic drawing, BUT!!! Look at the vid.

hi ravi, thank you very much for your comment, although looking back at the video this design might not be very feasible in 3d I personally like dorothy's 2nd entry

That is true. 3D can withstand Pascal drawing the other side.
Your drawing is the closest, natural growth of hawthorn, but I think it leaves too hard for this elegant tree. I took the liberty and rearrange your little drawing.
No negative thoughts!

Mario

Hello Pascal. I made the same mistake on my first virtual. I chose photo 6 because I thought it showed the best trunk(in profile). Look at the video and you will see how the tree really leans back.

Hello,

That is true Will, the movement of the trunk is really nice but the top is leaking back into the picture ..

The Joy Of bonsai took place last weekend and after consideration, and viewing the tree and its possibilities the Public's (and Mine) favorite is Eds.



A really great simple solution that is styled exactly as a hawthorn. The audience enjoyed the diverse images supplied by everyone and I think that the idea will be used again.

Thank you everyone who supplied virtuals for the presentation. IBC was heavily promoted during the two presentations I gave.
