Whady-ya-reckon?

I thought I would throw this pot on the fire.
Have a sticky beak at the link.

For me there is more to a tree than just ramification.

Perhaps it's the photography but there is something "not quite right" about them...they don't make me stop and think wow...

Really good movement for one.

I know it is only a virt, however what struck firstme is the lack of taper.

I really like the movement in the descending trunk, and the virt fills in that trunk very well, but I'm not sure that in the real world you could actually get the branches at the head to bend over in the way the virt does so easily. Interesting. The trunk shape is more important to me than the ramifying - that's just filling in after the design has been set.

Thanks for posting,

Gavin
