Hi Bodhi, this tree has a pleasant balance to it that I find likeable. I think this tree is actually J.squamata 'Prostrata' though.

Cheers,
Mojo

Great work Bodhi. An excellent composition which tells a story to those who have the capacity to read it. The only suggestion I have would be to glue some stones to the visable slab on the left hand side to further emulate a brook or creek and perhaps define the bank a little more.

Thanks Bodhi for the progression. I have a juni similar (not as big though) as yours and have had trouble finding a pot that it sits in properly.You have presented an idea I would never have thought off. I think the figure gives it a kind of peace about the setting.

Hey Bodhi, this is amazing, really great work.

I would love to see this put up in the 360 section.

Cheers
