Larix compilation

Post by stymie »

This is a group of five which I trimmed last week. Some new growth can be seen on shot 2 already.
Which would make the better front view?

I like #2
The first view to makes them all look like they are in the back of the pot and trying to run away

Gday Stymie!

I'm with Ken on this: it's #2 for me (it may only be that #1 has a lot of foliage obscuring the trunks on the LH side).

I look forward to seeing how the group looks once it's a bit better refined.

Thanks.

Fly.

I would agree with Flybri Don. I prefer shot #2 but over on the right hand side of the photo I would like to see some refinement to expose more of the trunk. I also love the pot by the way.....very good choice indeed.

Thanks for replying guys. You go for the side which I was favouring and that cements it for me. No 2 shot it is. I'll open the trunks up still further before exhibiting it. :lol: If I had shown how much growth I took off last week you would be surprised. Your thoughts are taken on board. ;) Regards from Don.
