John,
I love both your trees. I am not personally in love with the rock.

I love your figs, and I love the rock too. I have one like it - I was told it came from the Woomera Rocket Range, but couldn't swear to it. Bought it at a tropical fish shop (when I was into fish and not into bonsai).

Very nice designed figs John, I'm with Jerry on the rock tho, I find it distracts me away from your beautiful fig.

Very nice figs John you should be proud!
Has defoliation been a regular part of training your top fig? Love its shape.
