Absolutely. A large, impressive juniper with good foliage pads...... but I asked for junipers with few straight bits. This one, like most I've seen, is made from straight sections of trunk and branches. It even has some token dead branches.
I would love to see the same but with great curves and twists to show the climate and conditions it has lived through and some far more impressive shari on trunks and branches.

Hey Anthony,

Cheers - I really appreciate you posting the bottlebrush forest; you're right, I love it.

I particularly like the detail in the right third of the ground in the last photo. The bit of grass and dead wood. By highlighting that, I am not saying the tress are not the focus rather that the details add to the quality of the composition.

Thanks again for the photos.

Mark

Very impressive bottle brush forest - and thanks for all the input everyone.
