That's an incredibly sharp photo of the pot.
What brand of camera do you have?
Beautiful tree too.

just my guess, but i'm on a sub $250 digi point and shoot.

Ok im done, who wants a $5000 DSLR gear, to swap for a decent point and short. Game over, those shots are awesome..
My GF is even putting me to shame. :D

That tree has been my background on my work computer for a few years now..... It is my favorite native bonsai. Amazing and inspirational. I now have my own E. nicholi, but it is only a seedling and will never come close to this.

Looking good Peter.

Grant,

Internal it is a bit bigger in depth but the same in width. The style of pot makes it a bit larger in width externally.
