Sumo silverberry trimmed

My sumo silverberry was in need of a trim. After making it neater appearing, I did a portrait.
The first picture is from last August after a major defoliation.
Height from pot rim is about 20 inches. Circumference of base is about 34 inches.

I agree on the abstract point made by newt about the base. Very nice sumo bonsai! -Evan __________________

I see lines and shapes in it that give it a feminine appearance! Is this the final pot or do you have future plans for a different one? __________________ Ladybug
