[Category 1] Ficus eugenoides

[Shannon]

Commonly called Queensland small leaf fig.
This tree was ground grown from seedling for 5 years and purchased by me in 1993 as a stock tree since then it has been styled, potted then returned to the ground several times, for the past 4.5 years the tree has only resided in bonsai a pot in a semi completed state.

Dimensions: 630mm High x 940mm Wide

Here are a few pic's with different lighting.

[Shannon]

Thanks for all the compliments guys.

Spent over $600 yesterday trying to improve my photography and I'm still struggling....... It goes to show doesn't matter how many toys you have if you don't know how to use them they wont make much difference

Magic tree Shanon Congratulations

Re the photgraphy, the 3rd photo I think shows the best detail as the shadow are less. just slightly too bright tho maybe

Can you get the Background further back? I notice you lighting on the background and more distanace might reduce the light abit, as well as reduce the shadows

Thanks Ken,

Cheers for the photography advice I will have to get a bigger sheet I've run out of background.

Ken do you know how do you cut a tree out of a photo and put them on different background?

Was one of Greg Walls smallest, it had hardly any branches when I bought it and was half the size it is now!
