That Vitex has potential. I like the discordant flow of the jin and main branch. Makes a nice counter point.

thanks rob. enjoying your china trip posts.

Very nice trees . I really like the Juniper.

Pavel

thank you for the compliment, pavel. I appreciate your kind words. I am one of many IBC members who admires the material you collect and the skill with which you style them.

Very handsome trees.
Thanks for sharing them with us.
Jerry

nice bougi...Thanks for sharing!!

thanks jerry and gm. I appreciated your comments. I had the pink pixie on a turntable today, and decided maybe the back should be the front for a while. the bottom of the trunk is not as dramatic from this side, however, this front isn't bad. what do you think? I never realized until today, this tree had two fronts - I guess you could say I couldn't see the forest for the tree.




best wishes , sam

Thisfront looks much better to me...the thick trunk is very impressive....

Beautiful trees Sam

Nice Trees Sam

Kind regards,

Jose Luis

Both sides look good in these shots.

Very nice. I like the juniperus chinensis - kishu very much.

some matured and nice trees you got there Sam.

thanks everyone for the comments and opinions. I appreciate the time you take to respond. yesterday, I had the same three trees professionally photographed. if I can figure how to attach an email from the photographer that includes the pictures he took, I would be happy to share. to say there is a "difference" between my pictures and his, is a gross understatement. can someone out there instruct me how to get an email from my yahoo mail into this thread? BTW, I have an imac, if that helps.

compare my original point and shoot pictures with these. the in studio session lasted 3 hours to get 5 pictures I approved. more than 100 were taken, which I have on a CD. to watch the photographer orchestrate the light, plant positions, cameras, lenses, filters, etc. was an amazing experience. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

best wishes from hawaii.
