Black Pine No.3
Tree is not balanced. The foliage looks too heavy for the slender trunk. Foliage needs to be reduced if attempting literati or whatever else style. The whole tree looks like it will topple over any minute. The pot is too small for the current tree however with the reduce foliage it would be a better match however I would go for a different pot with this tree. A flatter round with feet would be a possible choice. The top needs to be redesigned.
The shari is nice. The roots look a bit of a mess from this angle. The bulge on the left hand side of the roots is not attractive
There is something sticking up from the lower part of the trunk which should not be there.
