1. Strengths - Gracefull, leaf size and color

2. Weakness - The trees are light, airy, and graceful but a heavy dark pot and dark stand were used. Moss covering the entire base adds to the heaviness. The "Y" and crossing branch under the apex detracts from the grace. Bar branch on the right tree.

3. Improve - Shallow, light cream pot. Use the moss sparingly. Fix the "Y" and crossing branch. Remove the first branch on the right hand side of the right tree (bar branch and I don't think the tree needs it...from this 2D).

4. Reminds me of many maples in the dense Ohio woods. Long spindly trunks but the stong ones can form beautiful canopies that dance with the slightest breeze.

P.S. Nice, Matt!
