Trees I have been working on today

[toohey]

I have been working on 3 trees today. A Port Jackson Fig, A Ligustrim (Privet) and a Corky Bark Elm. I have a before picture of the Corky Bark, but it still needs some work and development.
What do you think?
Where to from here?

G'day mate, i like the fig, i feel the privet keeps on going up and up but still looks good. Would the elm be better if the trunks were pulled together more and the main tree follow the smaller one's line. This is only my opinion and i think they all looking good.

Hi toohey,

Your bonsai look like the classic bonsai from the Sunset Books I have seen. Beautiful specimens.

Cheers

Ahhhh, bbq and bonsai, just need to turn that pepsi into a beer and your set

the Fig is Very nice
the Privet looks too Pompom like for me, the foliage pads neet be much larger and lees "Ball" like
The Elm looks nice, but maybe the left trunk is too long and straight. Have you thought about removing the section above the branch?

BBQ bonsai would not be tasty I don't think

I actually like the privets style and movement, it's different
Thanks for sharing mate.

Thanks Ken & Han,
It is amazing how people can see the same thing and yet see something different.
I appreciate the opinion from both of you.
