AusBonsai

This weekend the Goulburn AH&H Society is holding its annual show. And bless them there is a bonsai section in the show. It is competitive and judged by a qualified judge and all that, but more importantly it is another opportunity for us to promote the art of bonsai within the community.
The Goulburn Bonsai Society had a stand there where there were a few things for sale and also members to talk to anyone and everyone about bonsai.
Following are a few photos from the competitive part of the show, not all the trees as it was difficult to take any quality photos, but I hope you enjoy these anyway. By the way, the show is still on tomorrow if you would like to have a look for yourselves and see if you agree with the judge.
I have put the photos in the section that the show committee selected.
First up - any other style.

Next the Australian natives.

Now for the ......... cascades.

Informal are next.

Next up to the plate are the Literati's, always one of my favorites

Miniature and root over rock

Sort of working through the alphabet because raft is next.

Slanting is now to the fore

I now realise I have only one windswept, so here it is.

The champion came from the group or forest planting so I saved that until last.
Hope you enjoy.

Hey Watto

Did you make some of those pots?

Awesome, Watto!
Thanks for the pics.
Some well deserved winners there

Awesome watto. Thanks for posting. I would have to say my top 3.

Native = Banksia (first picture)

Informal = Hawthorn (4th picture)

Raft = Pine (1st picture) is this a black pine?

Any of them yours watto?

A couple of those pots were mine Alex, thanks for noticing (even if you were guessing).
Geez Keels, there was an internationally recognize judge in action and their decision is final, but I do agree with your opinion about the hawthorn because that is mine hahaha.
