I like this setup a lot. As for the tree, not much that I can offer by way of suggestions. I've always found boxwood hard to work with, but many others have had great success with it, so I'll leave it to them to say how to proceed. Best regards, Carl

I have yet to get the focus for smaller trees worked just right,my angle is a bit high on this one aswell.I can say after reading your article last year and a push or two from some of the other members I do enjoy taking pictures more than before. __________________ http://gongshi.freeforums.org/index.php

I think it would be a more interesting tree if see could see through it in places.

Hi,

I'm with you on your suggestion Brian as you are correct.

Here I tried a display of sorts.The stone was imported last year from London.

Also if you are using a camera with a removable lens (like a 35mm SLR) you can take the lens off and turn it around backward and hold it up against the camera body with the aperature opened up all the way for closeup,...or use some type of tube(they are sold in sets and called "extension tubes") to move the lens further away from the film-plane to get closeups. __________________ "Although profoundly "inconsequential," the Zen experience has consequences in the sense that it may be applied in any direction, to any conceivable human activity, and that wherever it is so applied it lends an unmistakable quality to the work." ~ Alan Watts (1915-1973) http://www.bonsaiswap.com/
