The next 2 pictures are from different viewing angles after a quick trim job and hastely applying one guy wire.As i said...I would appreciate ANY comments...but the thought that crossed my mind and led to my quandary is this.......

In a bonsai show....if the tables are approximately 3' tall,people would be looking down at a tree of this size.(even if on a small stand).This is the view in the first pic in this series.If the tree was elevated or if the tables were higher..let's say 5'..then the viewing angle would be much different.

I like the looks of this tree when viewed from slightly above,but the rear,right subtrunk is distracting to me when viewed at soil level.In addition,the canopy shape is more attractive in the first angle.

What would you do?

thanks,

andy
