Great contest, Al!
Here's a quick and dirty pass at a slanting style tree. I wanted to crank one out to get this contest up and going! My five points:
So...what do you guys think? Comments? -OMC

Just in case anyone cares - I like to start by sketching the basic shape, and then filling in the details. Here's the sketch I started with.
As far as I'm concerned, getting this sketch worked out is the interesting (and far less time-consuming) part. For actually using virtuals to help style a tree, I think I could stop at this point about 90% of the time without really losing anything. One other note - can anyone pick up the glaring flaw in the filled out virtual that is absent from this sketch? Cheers, OMC

Nice virtual!
For some reason, probably because the first branch is the same size as the trunk, the area right at the branch origin isn't very attractive. I think I would try to feather a little bit of foliage from the right side to hide a portion of that point to make it appear that the branch might be thinner.. Regards, Matt

My consideration
Hi Forum, I have raised the tree to the right. I have the green range built up in three equal parts, and the tree into a classic Japan shell planted.
1: First primary branch. 2: The second primary branch on the left. 3: The first rear branch. 4: Upper branch on the left. 5: Second rear branch. 6: canopy.

Second consideration
I would become the second styling of the pine for leant half Cascade naming.
1: The first primary branch the foliage pads form in cushions downward. 2: The first rear branch. 3: The second branch on the left page. 4: The second primary branch and against branch for the equilibrium. 5: Rear branch. 6: Front branch in the last third. 7: Rear branch in the canopy. 8: Canopy. I hope you understand my English very much, it was very hard to translate. Greetings from Austria, Karl T.

I stand and stare a lot

Here is my effort.
Depth of pot =(roughly) the thickness of the trunk Rounded crown on decidous tree denotes age Overall shape based on asymetrical triangle Back branch gives depth Slanting style suits decidous as well as conifeous trees  Can you tell I am running out of things to say?  Hope you like it Mike
