Finalist Tree No. 5 Clump Style

Tiny Plant from Finland

This is the epitome of classic maple bonsai design. The canopy is perfectly shaped, and the foliage color is exquisite. The pot, stand and tree are in perfect harmony. The splash of green in the accent bamboo make this a winner. Combine black background and the subtle shade changes in all the maroons of the pots and stands, and this is great display work. Again this is a virtual on parr with photo montages from Bonsai Today. Great fall color on the leaves, at the peak time to be presented. Very nicly done.

Runner up, Karl Thier. Karl is very good at this virtual and design game. Very classical maple design. I like the individual leaves on these virtuals and Karl is very good at that. I would like to know how they do that. The sunset backdrop does nothing for the virtual. Thats a personl thing with me though. My eye seems to go right for the sun first thing.

Rene, Nice shaped canopy, yet does not have the individual leaves that make the other trees sparkle. Maybe we can find out together.

OMC, Love that fall canopy. The yellow color is great. Very nice stand too! Accent can out of scale with stand!
