I would have a hard time reducing a beautiful tree like that, being scared that I would go too far. A master has an eye beyond the obvious. Great inspiration. Thank you.

Unfortunately, I have taken too little time for the deadwood, I think this has brought me less points. __________________ Kind greetings from Vienna/Austria Welcome on my home page http://www.bonsaiwerkstatt.at AoB Profil: http://www.artofbonsai.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1397 Karl T.

In no way should you feel that I’m saying that my way is the only way…heaven forbid! I've seen far too much of the "my way or the highway" attitude in bonsai as well as in other areas of life.

Karl, forget those scores! They don't mean a thing. The deadwood work had nothing to do with it. Your tree, and your vision of it, is one of the best in that contest. I like it!
