Another early attempt, originally planted in the root-over-rock style. I was never happy with the the fundamental mistake I made of planting the tree on the very top of a small rock - it was unnatural and began to look silly. I air-layered all the roots while retaining the original nebari, and finally dispensed with the rock. A great improvement!
