Juniper progression
Here's a juniper that I've been babying for quite some time. Got this around early 2012 ( i think) from Tien @ bonsaisensation
I did some branch twisting/movement and trim but that's about it( I should have gone back and seek help LOL). She hasn't been repotted for a while so I'll have her first on my list come repotting season

Re: Juniper progression
Hey mate. Could you please post some higher quality photo's and maybe some different angles if possible?
The trunk looks like it needs to fatten up a bit but the initial styling looks good
Cheers

I always resize mine to be 800x600 pixels as at that size they blow up to a bit below full screen and give good view of the subject, but file size is still only 200Kb or so.
Check out this wiki page for tips on how to resize

Re: Juniper progression
If you are running Windows and Microsoft Office, open your pics in Microsoft Office Picture Manager to crop and compress your pics (use the documents preset for compression, it will give you a good 150-250kb filesize).
Note that rotating pics in Picture Manager can cause them to blur, pics can be easily rotated 90, 180 or 270 degrees using the rotate clockwise or counterclockwise button in Windows Photo viewer. This applies to Windows 7.
If you have Windows 8 or 10, perhaps someone that uses either of those OS can stop sobbing long enough to help you out
Cheers,
Mojo

Re: Juniper progression
The more I look at this, the more I like it.
You are on a winner.
I like the trunk movement, branch positioning and shari.
The tree looks pretty proportional.
Too much moss though!

Re: Juniper progression
As you know the pictures are a little "busy" but from what I see this looks great!
Look forward to some cleaner pictures and future progression on this one.

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful
