Great contest, Al!

Here's a quick and dirty pass at a slanting style tree. I wanted to crank one out to get this contest up and going!

My five points:
  1. foliage pads are styled loosely as asymmetric trianges
  2. relation among the foliage pads is also an asymmetric triangle
  3. heavy right primary branch dips down to counterbalance the movement of the trunk.
  4. left secondary branch dips down to a second hanging foliage pad to fill some of the weighty space on the left side of the tree
  5. two branchlet (rather than the less realistic but more-common-in-virtuals single branchlet) dip down to form that hanging foliage pad on the left.


So...what do you guys think? Comments?
