I like this one a lot Stacy. It presents a powerful image with some older looking branches because of their thickness. Once this gets some age on it and you can thin it out a bit more I think it's going to be really great looking. You must have cleaned out the nursery when you got all these. Thanks for showing us you work.
Stacy, did you pick these specific plants out for their characteristics or did you just randomly pick them all up? I like this one too. I want to comment on all of them but I've been busy since you posted them.
This one reminds me of the tree I did for the Bonsai Nut Boxstore challenge. It looks very similar. After seeing this one, I dont think I feel so bad about mine.
I mean that in a good way.
