Pinus Sylvestris

Hi!

This is my last acquisition. A scott pine collected 3 years ago. I bought it last week in the EDG convention in Carcassonne. It is my first future bonsai!

very nice pine, pic.3 is for me the best front ...

I was thinking the same. On this side, the trunck presents the best curves. But the branch is on the front, on the other side, it's on the back...

I also have a doubt about the head to choose...

An idea;

i like the aged bark, think between pic1 & 2 might interesting

The second head;

Another possibility. Which one do you prefer?

among 3 sketches, i like 1st one best

Just my 2 cents......

Thanks a lot Martijn!
This is the best project I've seen, it allows me to keep everything so I got all the time to make a choice!
I'm grateful!

Wow so good Martijn.
Personnaly, I prefer the other face of the tree because trunc look's better (second picture)...
Great idéa.

Martijn, could you please send me your picture please? I just can't record it ...

Sibophone,

1/ right-click on the thumbnail, and select "Afficher l'image"
2/ it will display as a .jpg image, right-click on it, and select "Enregister l'image sous..."

Easy peasy...

Starting from martijn's excellent virtual, another idea.

Maybe too much ? And anyway, it's hard to make a 2-D virtual, the curves of the tree in 3-D look very interesting.



I think the curve in the trunk is a nice feature, and the tree there has a good movement. Hiding it makes the upper part look even straighter.

Another idea to get rid of the part i find too straight :

yes that is what i am tolking about ...
only i dont know to make a virtual

Thanks a lot guys! (I was using a mac that hasn't got a right clic to save...).

For the reasons I've already said, my preference goes to Martijn project. Maybe I will not use the last 10 cm, and let the left branch go a little more...

Thanks again!

Mac web browsers on OSX do have that option. If you don't have a 2-button mouse or Apple Super Mouse, use control-click instead, it does exactly the same thing.
