I am starting this thread to allow the discussion for the Masterpiece Bonsai thread started by Al. I originally skipped over his wishes to keep comments out of that thread, but have now gone back and deleted my comments and will place them below. Al is correct, the thread will be much nicer without comments, and I do apologise.
Thank you for this thread Al. I wish I could contribute, but...
I think this will be the biggest hurdle to overcome with the premise of your thread - being able to truly identify a masterpiece in 2D and 450 x 300...
Bummer, as I am exposed to the best future bonsai in the states, maybe the planet. They are just too young in their development phase...
No, I think this is the biggest hurdle to overcome. I do not believe many that have taken up the "masterpiece" argument have ever seen one in person, let alone have the skills to identify one. I will admit I have seen very, very few worthy of that title in person...

Maybe exposure to trees of this caliber give someone a personality that does not come across well on the internet.

No photo's of future bonsai please!

...or maybe you are not sure what a masterpiece tree looks like.
