Sabina juniper 2

hi all,
this is yamadori sabina from mountain, it is very old and famous material.The plant has huge potential to provide the tribe with lots of dead and rotten lot of dead wood. Interesting is also the lower part of the portfolio, which will be cut off or left on. As soon as I looked at the plant was unclear how we turn out and shaping my vision was clear. With the shape I'm very happy, although the green fuel was to be as good as I had imagined, he has managed to create a beautiful tree, which is certainly not lost in the future. more on my website http://www.niwatobonsai.estranky.cz/fotoalbum/nezarazene/sabina-babka

Good work Milan. Sabinas are taking over from Chinensis fast!! Whats your potting plan with this one?

Good, Milan.

Will, thank you
potting plan? Maybe on the rock or shell, I dont know now.

Thank you Walter, I appreciate it.

Hi Milan.

Nice work. Congratulations.

Very nice, interesing and dynamic trunk.
But, Treetop I tried more in the nature of the tribe.

There is one thing I'm bothered by and its the horizontal jin on the left. It seems overly heavy and distracts the eye.

in real the jin is ok, But it will be slightly refined in the future

maybe

Great looking tree. Just a thought. If I used my imaginary power and put a scholar underneath the first pad of foliage, (in propotion to the tree of course) then the left jin would be extremely awkwardly long. i think if you shorten it a little, then slant the tree to the right a bit to counterbalance the center of mass, I think that would be ideal.

Sorry dont have program to make a virtual. Anyone want to do that please feel free. I'd like to see my image come true. Just another option. Great looking tree one more time.

BTW, I was referencing the virtual by Milan for my image.

i think the jin adds to the tree , it woulld be a shame to get rid ofit because of convention

Get rid of it? Dont think that has been suggested. I said it was overly heavy thats all. A reduction in thickness would solve the problem.

Nice improvement!

But the tree deserves a great pot for it instead of a slab. (if it is possible with the roots.)

Or maybe a nice ibigawa rock that fits the tree with some plants that makes it a great composition.

Best regards,
Yannick

Milan, your vision for this tree is the right one for my taste, removing the base jin would make it like so many other specimens, whereas with the right rock/slab for planting, you have an image that is totally unique.

Great job.

Thanks for your encouraging comments and suggestions! For the time being I am convinced to keep the base jin, however, I might change my mind in future, we´ll see, maybe some minor changes and of course a refinement will be made. Yanick, what do you mean by "ibigawa" stone? Could you, please, virtualize your idea, if possible?
