Why ya gotta slant it like that? Pull it upright, would look better.

I do like that idea, with the long branch falling more then.
But @aframe when looking at the current pic, to see if I like it again, I found the change in background color quite distracting.
I'd like to see it on a booster chair!
I think upright, it WILL feel more stable, it will look like a feminine lady, rather than a drunk bitch, and you may be able to squeeze a little more movement out of the Japanese word I've never heard!
I like it.

Don't talk about mah momma
I explored the upright angle before repotting...didn't fit my eye. I like it's instability. It's like one of those trees you see in the forest and think, "I bet I could kick that Fu@king thing over!, hold mah beer, watch this!!"

Ha! I did that to a dead maple at the park the other day!
6 live ash trees. One dead maple. Ah one ash on the way out. But Damn!
I know what you mean. In that case. It deserves a wide slab. It really does.

Can't be stopped. And they are moving your guys way. Millions of dead ash here. It does make excellent firewood though.

Sounds like a very "boring" story that ends up being a big pain in the "Ash"

I like the slanted design where appropriate.
I had an opportunity just recently to work with a lady hobbiest who had a nice shore pine. It was planted in a square masculine pot and upright dispite it's mound of roots off to one side. I propped it up with a tilt of about 30 some degrees to the right and stuck a nice drum pot in front of it where the base of the tree began a bit left of center.
Made my day to see the smile on her face.
Time spent in the forrest, saw how easy it was to justify the slant because of the one sided root structure, which seemed to want to grasp the earth as a counter balance to the way the tree was leaning. totally natural looking and believeable in design.
In your case, (again back to the woods) I could see a stone to the left of the tree (where her root ball was on the pine) as if to suggest the seed landed there from the wind, and the young shoot leaned out and away from the stone to get it's needed light. As it lengthened I'd be training it back toward the stone as if the tree was making an effort to climb higher towards the sun.....in a more direct trac once clear of the stone.
Just some thoughts on how I envision things with my own subjects....maybe not for you But perhaps to some, a different way of looking at things.....
