Hellow everybody.
It's been a while since my last post on this forum.
This time I am searching for help about my recent styling of Juniper. I know, I should style first and then repot in training pot, but I can still repot after styling.
I hope my tree has some bonsai potential and I would really like to do the right job. I already have some trees styled. They live, but still doesn't look like real bonsai should look.
On this particular tree, I already did some cutts, repot it in different angle, but I did not wire or style it jet.
I am hoping to get opinion what are the reasonable options with this tree. Which side of my tree will be the best front etc.
I decided that this time I will draw a sketch first and try to style it later.
Thsnks.

I think picture 3 shows the most interesting trunk movement. Thats what I would use.
I would also concider reducing the right trunk and grow it as first branch and use the left one as new trunk.
But as allways: I havent seen the tree in real life and after all you are the artist and you shoose the future for your tree.

Its fun creating yin! In my opinion I dont think any of the yin on this tree adds anything to the design. I would remowe them.
As allways, its your tree and if you like them, keep them.

Thanks for advice. I can still cut it later.
If cutted, can't be attach back any more. It's better for me, to leave as much option as possible.
I am stil full newbie about bonsai styling. Looking a lot of vidos, but in theory it is different

About very first question...
I am leaning towards front No. 2. I made some sketch, but I do not know if my thinking about design is going to right direction.
I belive top pad should be smaller, but I do not get enough foliage for now to revers it.

I thought this forum is alive, but there is not a lot of action here. I was really hoping for more vivid conversation.
