Bought the two of these Junipers at flower power for 7 bucks a pop and after contemplating which way to go with them i decided on one windswept ant the other bunjin because it had a nice trunk line.

Here are some pics from the windswept one

Proposed front


Rear Shot

Here is the one I am attempting to train to a bunjin style, I have left a little growth on the end of the two small jins in a hope of getting a bit more character, I realise i should have more exposed trunk as it goes up but i decided to leave a few branches so i can have more jinning options later.


some detail of the jins i created


Not sure if this or the next one should be the front


I like the look of bothe sides as a proposed front what do you guys think?

Is it just me, or are all the photos chopped off?

i can see photos ok

Not bad mate, im sure after a long period of pinching and feeding it'll fill in nicely.

Only suggestion i'd make is get stuck into that Jin with a pocket knife [carefully] and sharpen it up or carve some movement into it

It's not just you, Andrew, I can only see the far left side of photos that are much too big.

I have resized pics drastically, but they still seem to be auto cropping when the forum loads them. What is max size allowed?

Don't put the photos as inline images.
Post them as normal and they wil appear as thumbnails and when clicked they pop open to full resolution.
I resize all my pictures to 800x600 when posting. that is plenty big enought to see
