I need your recommendation to select the perfect pot color finish and style I need to go with for this look. I'm considering having one custom built if needed. I did a mock-up with a "Reihou" style that might work but the finish is way to basic and played out. I like that style but the finish doesn't give the "WOW" and great transition feel I'm looking for. Please leave comments and suggestions. It's a tough decision and I would love to hear your feedback. I need your advice to find the perfect bonsai pot and finish to properly present this natural looking maple bonsai. Look forward to see everyone's feedback and comments.

Hummm...
I don't think white/cream is a good choice of color for such a beautiful bonsai.
I am a pro photographer, and the eye is attracted to lighter areas of the images first. Which means away from the tree..
My 2 cents,
Clicio

Clicio,
What finish style would you recommend for this look? Please provide example with an image. Also do you think the selected pot will work well with this maple.

Based on the pictures, this seems to be a good tree, and deserves a good pot. I would probably go for a pot like the one Walter Pall has used here:
