The owners of the trree's might see those faults, but it seems many of the readers and posters dont.bodhidharma wrote:G'Day Asus, thanks for commenting but i think your vision is extending to a finished product where as i see these trees as a work in progress. I am sure the owners, including myself, are well aware of the faults but they are works in progress as i said. If we were to post only finished articles there would not be many posts happeningI see the forum as an encouragement and do not want to deter novices from posting their beginners.
I have tree's that every time someone comes to see them I point out the faults first so we can get down to constructive throughts than to waste time.
Sure beginners of all levels need to be encouraged to post, but they also need to learn. Running comments of praise are not helping a person to learn, to see issues in good structures they need to be pointed out. I'm not picking on anyone, in fact they are all good nebari's, I just wish for peopel to learn what the problems are, and hopefully how to fix them.
If my camera actually works I'll post an image of a collected zelkova and its roots and why that at a glance one side is good it actually isnt good at all.
The only finished bonsai is a dead one.
