Al, I guess I just don't get it. Maybe it's related to my failure to quite get Bonsai as a Western Artform. If Bonsai is all about bringing out the best in a living tree, why is anybody going to be upset about somebody else offering their ideas? Just because I'm fond of a particular tree doesn't mean I wouldn't like to hear your ideas on how to make it better.

On another thread, I offered my suggestion that you get a section of your own to critique trees, much as Walter does. I would LOVE to get your suggestions on my trees. Show and Tell is fine as far as it goes, but it's pretty much catch as catch can. And my trees are nowhere near good enough to go to Walter.

You have alot more talent and experience than I have. Believe me, I would greatly appreciate your comments on my trees. In view of my level of talent, I think your hope that the experience might refine my sensibilities might be hoping for too much, but, at least my trees might benefit.
