Here's a juniper that I've been babying for quite some time. Got this around early 2012 ( i think) from Tien @ bonsaisensation I did some branch twisting/movement and trim but that's about it( I should have gone back and seek help LOL). She hasn't been repotted for a while so I'll have her first on my list come repotting season

Hey mate. Could you please post some higher quality photo's and maybe some different angles if possible?

The trunk looks like it needs to fatten up a bit but the initial styling looks good

Cheers

Usually we are telling people to post lower res images but I agree.
I always resize mine to be 800x600 pixels as at that size they blow up to a bit below full screen and give good view of the subject, but file size is still only 200Kb or so.

Check out this wiki page for tips on how to resize

I'll try to upload better pics tonight folks!

If you are running Windows and Microsoft Office, open your pics in Microsoft Office Picture Manager to crop and compress your pics (use the documents preset for compression, it will give you a good 150-250kb filesize).

Note that rotating pics in Picture Manager can cause them to blur, pics can be easily rotated 90, 180 or 270 degrees using the rotate clockwise or counterclockwise button in Windows Photo viewer. This applies to Windows 7.

If you have Windows 8 or 10, perhaps someone that uses either of those OS can stop sobbing long enough to help you out

Cheers,

managed to get a couple of quick pics...that was taken before it started raining yesterday morning on my way to work. I'll take some "real" pics next time
with better background and all when i get some free time for my bonsai started a new job and four kids doesn't give me much time lately

The more I look at this, the more I like it.

You are on a winner.

I like the trunk movement, branch positioning and shari.

The tree looks pretty proportional.

Too much moss though!

As you know the pictures are a little "busy" but from what I see this looks great!
Look forward to some cleaner pictures and future progression on this one.

Thanks guys! I just recently got the bonsai bug back lol

Daluke - underneath that thick moss will be a surprise hehe i hope there's a better base there from last time i look

Boics - i have a few trees to take some pics but they are still developing not a full bonsai yet so I'll take more pics soon for my file as well!
