Re: Juniper clean up
Nice work, Gerard. What species is it?
I like the composition as is, but have you ever thought about shortening it? Its a nice example of a 'mother-daughter' composition. I think for mine, the main trunk is just a little bit too tall and lacking that slight amount of taper, though im sure my mind will change after its wired
Definitely a better example of a softly bent Juniper, rather than the harsh 's' bends I commonly see
