This is good practice for me, so here goes:


1. Strengths:

The trunk, especially the slant in the movement of the aerial roots in comparison with the rest of the trunkline.

2. Weaknesses:
That long arched root on the left side. Also, the canopy feels wrong in relation to the trunk. I think a lack of enough foilage compared to the trunk size.

3. Improvements:
Remove that root arch. Grow out for more foilage. Prune back, rinse & repeat.

4. Message:
Rainforest Giant. That's also why I think it needs more foilage.

5. I would like to see something green growing at the base of the trunk. Moss seems somehow slightly inappropriate, but I would like to see the trunk contrasted on something green. Now the soil color is very much the same as the trunk color, hiding it. I'm not totally sure about the pot either, but maybe that too has to do more with the relation between soil color, trunk and pot, rather than the pot itself.

Now tell me I'm wrong,
regards,
