Gday Peter, Marc & Co!

With all due respect Marc, I beg to differ - I believe the placement of the trees is very close to spot-on. The work that Peter has done arranging these trees - especially the back tree - has yielded great results, both in terms of the creation of depth and 'symmetry of design'*.

I would love to see this planting in a much wider, shallow pot - so I went ahead and did a quick & nasty virt. I know this pot (a squashed, stretched Pat Kennedy pot from my tiny collection) is not entirely suitable, but I hope it conveys some sense of what I mean.

Great work Peter!

Thanks.

Fly.

* I'm uncertain whether 'symmetry of design' is the right term. Perhaps 'symmetry of purpose'? Anyway, what I mean is the way in which the shapes of the large, foreground trunk/tree are echoed in diminishing scale as the landscape recedes. Sorry for the babble.

Fly I like your virtual, however I would like to see it planted about the thickness of the main trunk to the right. As my eye is drawn to the small tree being smakdab in the middle. IMHO Pup

Hi Everyone,

There has been consistant comment on the positioning of the middle tree,so today I decided to rearrange the setting.

I have to collect more rocks to finalize this setting.
