Thanks for the feedback guys. I will be letting it health up in its new surrounds for a few months, then I will have another look at the foliage and refine it, balance it, and hopefully create a stunning composition.
The top, which was pulled very aggressively to the right, will probably spring back slightly. This will be good (as long as it doesnt spring back too far), as it will help to get the top and bottom of the tree into a well balanced tree.

It does look good, and I think much nicer than a crescent pot!

I love it.
I really like the angles of the pot against the curve of the trunk and the soft rounded apex.

Re: 1981 Shimpaku Juniper Restyle
nice work on the tree.
If the trunk needs to leave the pot horizontally, something like this might work.
its one of Kimuras.
sorry no virtual.

Thanks for your kind comments.
Isn't it great to have such talented potters here in our own backyard that we can call upon to make pots to our precise specifications? Janet has done a great job in creating a pot from the thoughts that I had in my head! Top job Janet!
