larix fukinagashi

here a larix to realize by marc noelanders

If you said that in polite company in my accent there'd be mischief.

This is also a nice looking tree..one thing,,could you bring that bottom branch uo a little so it does not touch the soil??? not critizing just a ouestion....I am still thinking about the trident,,i would like to know your next step...take care john

John is right, (IMHO)That first branch almost touching the ground is creating a heavy feeling to the windswept creation and wind swept should feel very light, as if the tree is almost dancing with the wind. reducing the foliage near the trunk would also create a better movement.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I think the imbalance and effect fukinagashi would be better like that.[img][/img]

Nice old image, though I could do without those two lower branches.

So would I, I'd jin them out.

But I've already suggested that on a French forum and I know he won't agree

"In nature" I think that at least the first branch would be stripped off its needles and bark so close to the soil. Like that, it looks as if it has recently been toppled by a gust of wind...

I like saikei features. I'm a fan of landscapes. The fern is a nice touch.
