Fantastic tree! It belongs to Doug Paul (Mr. Kennett Collection). This photo is from the famous Kokufu Exhibition in Tokyo. It's a great honor to have a tree accepted to Kokufu; only a handful of North Americans have had that honor.
Today we’ve got a few photos from Doug Paul’s Kennett Collection, no doubt one of the foremost bonsai collections in North America. The collection – with the exception of any trees Doug keeps in Japan -resides in Kennett Square PA.

This impressive exposed-root tree is a Trident maple. The leaves are dead giveaway.
If you’d like to learn more about the Collection, you can visit their facebook timeline or their website. I’m on vacation, so I won’t bother to research the types of trees shown here (the facebook photos don’t say), but I will make some semi-educated guesses.
I don't know what this multi trunk beast is, but I'm very impressed by the nebari
This would be an impressive tree even without the brilliant leaves. Speaking of, have you ever seen such bright yellow and red leaves on the same tree at the same time? Some of the sugar maples around here (Vermont) do that in the fall, but maybe not quite as brightly contrasted as these leaves (almost looks shopped a bit)
Japanese maple. Another colorful display
How often do you see a formal upright Azalea? I think the trunk is the result of bundling a bunch of saplings (whips) together
