White pine
Here is a white pine I recently purchased and did some wiring/branch repositioning. If you look close in the first picture, you'll see a preying mantis in the foliage. Sorry about the shadow in the second pic, it was getting late.
I thought I'd show these as an example of how "finished" bonsai can change very easily with the new owners taste. Did I goof, or does it look okay? Best regards, John

I like the new look much better. Hope you don't mind, but I did a quick virtual with the crown a bit more filled in. Just a thought...
Regards, Scott. |

Everyone,
Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad it is coming along in a manner that pleases you. Hookeroak, Thanks so much for the virtual. I have no idea how to do them, and it is exactly the direction I want to go (filling in on the right just below the apex). Your virtual helps me see it in the correct light. Warmest regards, John

John,
Good work! I like the direction you are heading with this pine. As a matter of personal taste, if it were mine, at the next repotting I would use a slightly larger pot but not deeper and I would most likely choose a richer, slightly darker brown one. You have a very nice bonsai here John, thanks for sharing. Will Last edited by Will Heath : 17-Nov-2004 at 12:51 PM. |
