Master vs. apprentice: Guess which is styled by a Bonsai Master

[@stevetippin]

hmmm. I understand the reasons that you pointed out as to why the master styling was better but I don't fully agree that it was better instantly. I think that they styled the tree so that it would be better as it aged but your tree looked better (to me) after the styling (but likely would not grow as nicely). I did not guess the correct tree. GREAT video!

You are absolutely right about the master's styling that he was looking for a long-term vision of the tree rather than the one that looks good now. Thanks for commenting!

i prefer the more striking front/face view of yours personally , as apposed to the masters being a bit more consistent from all angles. i honestly appreciate the boldness of the front view of your piece a lot 🌲🙂

Thank you so much! Your appreciation on my style gives me motivation to try work harder.

I agree, the first had more beauty in it.

Nice, I'm new to bonsai as well. Even though your sensei made some great improvements, I think you'll be an excellent bonsai expert yourself in the future!

[@bonsaistation]

Thanks for a kind and warm reply. I sure hope I can be a good bonsai expert one day!
