What I like in this tree is the development of the canopy, never expected it can go that fast.
You're a very skilled bonsai artist.
My appreciation you have.

Thanx Frank. With the right techniques development of the branch structure on acer cempestre and hornbeams goes very fast.
Still a lot of work to do on it though
Top needs to be carved to make smooth transitions from trunk to branches and lower branches needs to thicken up.

Hi Mimo,
that's the point, you seems to have a clear vision in how to proceed, next steps etc.
I believe you, if you say it goes very fast, but knowing the right moment to take an action, like carving, makes the difference in the result you achieve.
