As @Judy stated, the blue retains the colour of the pots, soil and moss. The others are effective but in a different way.

I like the color the best, just not quite that color. De Tommy has a nice blue above. With that said all of the photos present their own special qualities. Congrats on all of your great trees. A great reward for all of your hard work.

Color. Gives the tree's true color hues; however, the blue is way too bold and distracting. Needs a neutral background. 18% gray to be exact.

What you could do, and what I may do, is get a background as close to 255 green as possible then you can select it with photoshop/gimp and make just the background whatever color suits you at the time...

Yeah but they always look... "off" when people photoshop in a new background to me... like the trees are outlined for a coloring book or something...

color but not that background - 100 percent light blue base and back would show all other colors as in the pots nicely

sepia seems to show depth the best making it seem more 3D

black and white appears to work good for a Winter display

Just me perhaps but you asked...

My favorite of the three you posted is the sepia. Beautiful trees! Each one deserves to be photographed individually.

@Smoke ...Al...I admired the sepia...but, like what B-Nut did as well. Stunning trees my friend. The cascade is stunning...but, I'm hopeless...I drool over the Neagari. Can't help it. Are they all maples at that? Dang...all the trees have their own qualities...but I'm a hopeless sucker for Neagari. It lulls me into a trance. Would love to one day own one on my own bench, still kick myself that Bill V had one up on international Bonsai's website for sale...and I never bought it. Was to wet behind the ears and had no faith in myself. Just stunning...do you have those pretties on any post of their own?

I will go to the colored ones. It looks all natural and appealing.

The colour photo looks like a carnival.
The black & white looks like death.
The sepia looks nice.

As is I would say the sepia tone looks the best. However, were I the photohgrapher I would have chose a deep navy or charcoal background and color. Something like this.DSC_00072.JPG
