Excuse the IPhone photo, in between moving house at the moment and didn't have access to internet at home or a computer

PS as expected after rotating it the photo has reverted back to sideways, can mods please fix this

This one thankfully has survived and I did some refinement work on it this evening, as well as beginning work on the shari

Not too much growth to report on this one as the weather has well and truly cooled here,
I have however done some work on the deadwood. I removed the wire I placed on the jins in the initial styling, and widened the shari on the trunk, and given it some lime sulphur,
I never really paid much attention to the deadwood after I did the first work, with the wire on it didn't really invite my eye but now that it's off I'm actually quite pleased with whats going on in there

And here's some shots of the deadwood as it gets a bit lost in the overall pic

final submission for this tree
Unfortunately die back of the older internal foliage has left this tree perhaps as sparse as it has been all contest, the plus side however is that it is quite clean, although a little yellow where some older foliage still remains.
In hindsight this was a difficult species of juniper to work with due to its slow growth but I am happy with where it is as after 18 months and I am also happy with its final size for this comp

and height

Good luck to everyone making their final submissions
