The Art of Bonsai Project

My thoughts:
What is a good bonsai?
A good bonsai should - have character
- have dignity
- have aesthetic value
- be designed according to style and form
- have some good positioned branches
- have adaequate ramification (3rd generation+)
- be healthy
- have refined foliage
- have good nebari relative to species
- be presented neat
- be positioned correctly in a suitable pot
You add an 'excellent' to all of the above and you have a masterclass bonsai.Til now all we have is a global masterclass tree.
You define a parameter regarding the artist's nationality and you will have a national masterclass tree.Nationality solely goes with the artist,not with
the tree.
If you want to compare trees,compare national masterclass with national
masterclass.National master class tropicals with national masterclass tropicals grown in greenhouses.
National masterclass conifers with national masterclass yamadori and all the other combinations.But please stay on the highest quality level,
everything else would lead to Walter's new posted article "Blind in one eye"
Let's keep both eyes open.

So Dorothy would you agree the 4 trees I posted are master class?

Rob,
I am not in the position to judge these trees.
I do have a personal opinion,but I do decline to express them
at that time.

Master class yes, but are they world-class?
