I can explain away the reverse taper as being a result of the swelling caused by the deadwood also. Even so, does the reverse taper add anything?

As this is an off-shoot of the discussion that turned into "do rules create good bonsai", these images were posted as less than traditional examples. Does the BREAKING of the rules add anything? Are these infractions artistically sound?

Another question (maybe the same one rephrased) is what is being incorporated while these infractions are being traded off. What choice was made and why?

Discussion: ensue,
WF
