I'm not sure the mudman adds much to the composition.

Now THAT's modern bonsai
 . I love the composition of the tree. It uses external tension to show inner turmoil. The swirling balled up splinters of wood turn in on themselves. The tree being chewed up and dead is a metaphor for modern life. APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE. Simply groundbreaking. Brilliant....So what kind of soil do you use for this? |

I agree simply brilliant. I think with turmoil and tension the mudman represents the release of inner tension and the bike represents the freedom to live. Very well thought out Dale Cochoy I applaude you

Chopped Liver?

Dale - this is nothing but a self-indulgent exercise in ugliness. It is a slap in the face of anybody who believes that Bonsai can have meaning - be they a novice or a self-proclaimed Master of the form. It is disgusting.
BRAVO!!! This is exactly what Bonsai needs right now! I tip my beret to you, Mr Dale. Quote:
