Is that a 10cm 20 or a 40 cm pair. Just thought to ask.

Theres different sizes? ... oh well there go's that idea

A very common object I've seen recently being used is a CD/DVD - preferably one you've finished with, or not started. If I had a large tree that was good enough to have its picture displayed, I'd use a champagne/bubbly bottle rather than a beer bottle.

Good Idea.

Here's what I've standardised on now:

Standard bonsai shears

Korean Hornbeam


Common Wych Elm (Ulmus Glabra) shohin.


New pots


Or my favourite - and something I generally have to hand...and a glass of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc wine

Chinese elm


White pine


Lonicera nitida

How about an iphone next to it?

May not be such a good idea if you are using it to take the pic in the first place

Generally it's a good idea to use something that everyone has access to and/or some experience with and of universal size. Using an Iphone would be just as useful as me using my old SE k800i (only excluding the fashion statement).

ok how about one of those fertilizer baskets

I think the drink can would be one of the best. Everyone has those or can get hold of one. Least it gives a better idea of trunk thickness.
So guys lets just stick with the drink can.
