Nebari bonsai: trident maple

Do you like this nebari, or is it a bit much? If you just look at the bottom photo, does the nebari seem to strong for the trunk? That’s the way it strikes me, but when I look at the whole tree, it works just fine.

Here is another nebari that we featured in an earlier post. This one does seem a bit over the top, though I suspect it will look a little less dominant when the tree is in leaf. What do you think? This is a trident maple.
