Black pine styling, KoB contest - part 8

Here the result. Also a virtual with the guy wires retouched.

Mind you, THIS WAS NOT A STYLING FOR THE CONTEST! This was normal work for a client and only the health of the tree and the quality in the long run mattered. The contest was never an issue during this work.

Now the pine rests in my garden and it will be left alone over summe. In late summer I will enhance it slightly again and make the final pictures. At that time we might manage to get rid of the thick guy wires and replace them with thin and transparent fishermen string or similar.

Wow Walter,
I am very intriqued by the front that you chose! I personally preferred the one that showed more of the shari on the trunk. Still, a very intriguing tree that makes you stop and think about it for a while, kudos.

You are absolutely correct about the pot, I would have never have picked it up, but it complements the tree very nicely indeed.

All the best
Robert

I know this Kotobuki pine since many years & was never glad with the foliage of the tree ...

The development is great, Walter!! The pine is looking fantastic!
