Walter,

There is something I don't understand. I have followed the discussions about classic vs naturalistic bonsai on the IBC and this forum. I think I like about 90% of the naturalistic bonsai you have created very much. The rest is, as you said, probably a matter of taste. My own trees are all still classical because I feel I should master this first before I can advance to a naturalistic form (and this will take some years). I have noticed that you make naturlistic trees out of deciduous trees and that they do not confirm to the classic rules. However in some evergreens I see that you still make trees with triangles that do look like classical designs. I will post some pictures here to show you what I mean. Don't get me wrong, I like these trees, but I think they could easily be presented at a kokufu ten and be accepted. Why is that ?

regards, René
