Jim,

This is a beautiful composition. I like it very much. I like the choice of plants, I like the structure of the elements, I like the care you've taken with the moss and the photography and all of the elements of the presentation.

I do favor the first photograph over the second because the first doesn't reveal the full stand. In general, I don't like to see kusamono presented on a raised stand. A simple mat or a polished slice of a wood burl are usually preferred.

Thanks for posting this. It's only the first week of March and we've already seen two excellent kusamono here on BonsaiTALK this year. I like that!

Best wishes,
Carl
