okay - I love bonsai and blue so this one stood out for me although I think the smoke looks unreal - is it really smoke or is it made in photoshop? if not, I would like to know how you caught it.
I scored this well. Good drama and lighting. The degree of difficulty is different, not necessarily greater, than photographing an outside single tree. But, I think the uniqueness here is worthy of note. 9
