I will cast my lot with Ron Martin, You can suggest that a person take a new direction with out bleeding them to death. In my fifteen years in the art of Bonsai I find it quite funny that the only expert that had any thing good to say about what I am trying to do in bonsai was a young Japanese Bonsai Teacher. I am still trying to heal from some of the tough love that I have recieved from the Bonsai Experts! A very good critique will spend as much time reinforcing what is good about a tree as it does trying to redirect and correct what is wrong with a tree. That being said "GOOD LUCK"
