Nice Watto
I find it little strange to see the first branch on the "inside" of the tree.

your thoughts?

The first branch is on the outside, and really the second branch is also on the outside, however as you look at it there is a small branch that is there to "hide" part of the trunk, the mystery branch.
Not your typical "cookie cutter" bonsai (1,2,3; 1,2,3), but very traditional Japanese style none the less.
Pop down to the Goulburn exhibition this weekend Ken and see it for real.

This is one in the competition I genuinely love.

Something about it.... 2 thumbs up.

Thanks Slothman, its had a bit of a journey over the last three years, from 750mm down to 220mm plus a couple of re-pots into smaller pots in a sequence. Just on pots though, the tree and accent pots are both from Penny of Mudlark Pottery, good to support the local talent.
