It is quite possibly the most beautiful maple bonsai I have ever seen. I have a leopard tree I am trying to style in the same manner. The branches and everything are perfectly lateral for the style however, bending them is a little tricky since they can be fragile.

Many people in my country thought that it was an indigenous tree however, it actually comes from Brazil. Not sure what they call it but I think it is a rain tree to them (Caesalpinia ferrea).

Thinking of it now, I think the below style would be better suited for the tree I am working on. I managed to let it grow in the ground for two years before moving it to a large pot and trimming its roots quite a bit. Since then, the tree has recovered remarkably and (I know I should not) I can actually pick it up by the trunk and carry it around.

I really have to take more photos of my trees. Think I'll do that this afternoon.
