What about it makes it a bonsai and not just a sapling growing in a creek?

I am disappointed in the small size of this picture, it would make such a nice wallpaper.

Don't disappoint yourself, and do a reverse image search. Here is one I found in 30 secs. http://i.imgur.com/U45MMdj.jpg watermarked though.

I did so too, they are all a bit blurry (people took the small one and made it bigger).

The image quality isn't very good though.

Not a bonsai - doesn't look like a tree. I keep seeing this get posted and keep being disappointed that people believe this is somehow a bonsai; it's not.

While technically it's not a bonsai, it certainly looks like a tree. To me, at least.

Find me another photo of a tree that looks like this :-)

Anything with part of its trunk showing is a bonsai to most people. It explains a lot of why we get new people butchering trees to show off a sad thin trunk

agreed. not a bonsai in the literal sense - tree in pot, and not in the artistic sense - a small tree looking like a large one.

[–]kidneon 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

but the reason why it isn't a bonsai is because it lacks human intervention right? Because that's what makes a bonsai, the fact that a human took a sapling and manipulate it to look like somthing from nature.

That's what I said, and I get the downvote too. Natural bonsai is an oxymoron, and this is just a sapling like you say. I know you're right, here's to experience...

[–]kthehun89US, NorCal, 9b, intermediate, 14 trees 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (15子コメント)

Just a cypress growing like a cypress. Not bonsai yet...

[–]SixshooteR32 -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (14子コメント)

Sigh...

You not realize natural bonsai is an oxymoron?

[–]SixshooteR32 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (12子コメント)

No we understand.. we just dont care about terminology enough to be negative like you..

[–]kthehun89US, NorCal, 9b, intermediate, 14 trees 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (11子コメント)

Bitch please, anyone with a cent of understanding calls this out as not bonsai. See the other comments. What makes this a natural bonsai, or bonsai for that matter? Damn shame, and I'm just realistic not being negative. Last I checked this was a bonsai sub, so it's all about terminology.

[–]SixshooteR32 -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (10子コメント)

You need to find a hobby and relax.. I

[–]itoucheditforacookie 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (8子コメント)

They have, and you are ruining it.

[–]SixshooteR32 -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (7子コメント)

If you think im the one ruining it then I dont even care anymore

[–]itoucheditforacookie 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (6子コメント)

This isn't /r/natureporn, it is bonsai. It is getting called out by people who have a lot of knowledge about this form of art.

[–]kthehun89US, NorCal, 9b, intermediate, 14 trees 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (5子コメント)

thanks, it's the principal here that everyone chimes in on. We aren't raining on parades.

[–]kthehun89US, NorCal, 9b, intermediate, 14 trees 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Sure thing. My hobby is bonsai, where trees are dwarved to look like old trees. This isn't that... This is a sapling growing on a stump. Sure, it looks cool, but bonsai it is not.

This is from Vancouver Island (somewhere north of Port Alberni). The taker of this pic entered it in a contest for trees that inspire bonsai contest about a yr or two ago.
