It's artistic - but I am curious about whether you plan to let the top get a big larger (in all respects proportionally)? I like it, but as it is now, the tree/foliage seems almost to be overwhelmed by the pot and rock. Same feeling about the otherwise nice quartz and its stand.

Tony you sure have a lot of those water jasmines. I like the flat top. You will have to post pictures when they bloom.Moochinka is right . My attention was drawn towards the rock. Too large and too plain. I guess we would want the viewers attention moving towards the top. What do you think?
Thanks moochinka and qwade, but I am not a good bonsai player and I have no experience at all. No formal training and whatever I plant is just a hobby and to my own satisfaction. I am posting them here is to get more feedback and comment so I can improve myself. Thanks. I will be posting more of my wrightia religiosa soon.
Quite artistic...though I see a pattern with the poster. Nothing wrong with it if it's what you prefer...but...I notice the close clipped canopy. Seeing this reminded me of an earlier thread I just viewed. I know nothing of the species of tree. But, if you like the close clipped foliage...then, so be it. But...I think a fuller canopy on this one would just make the entire thing more of an awe moment when viewing it.
I do like the base on this...but feel by increasing the canopy you could create an even greater piece. But I stress...if the tight manicured canopy is your thing...then do it! Don't change your vision for someone else's. I know someone who did that to a tree. He let a master bonsai guy...change his plans for the tree. To the point his vision was lost. He later sold the tree because the vision he seen had been removed. Though...increasing a canopy wouldn't destroy the tree. It could always be pruned back hard again...so...if your on the fence...I say try it. If you don't like it...then prune it back harder.
