bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - suggestions for this saikei?

I think I just entirely missed seeing this post for some reason, Denny.

I think you've made good use of the space and the material, and the general appearance is pleasing and peaceful. For some reason I do get the feeling the little guy on the bridge is the centerpoint and the plant is an accent.

The soft edges - curved bridge, oval pot, round gravel, polished rivers stones and oval leaves - leave me looking for some hard edges. I wonder how it would look with some grey feather rock in lieu of the two stones?

On the other hand that standing rock on the left is a good compositional element. The one in the foreground looks a little unsettled. How about bedding it down another half inch or so to give it a more established look?

Regards,

Matt
