Some say 6x trunk diameter is best height but you probably know that already :p
As always...
Next year :p
Perhaps it will be a bonsai in 2056:eek: i'm aiming at around 1/4 trunk base/ height. Guide lines, spoke a lot about them with teachers.

You can always drill holes in place of another feature you don't like. I like holes. Holes rock. Tree bellybuttons!

First styling on this one. Still doubt about a few branches and the crossing jins.

You are right about the crossing jins. Jins are obvious attractors in a design and in this case they seem to draw into each other creating a conflicted design that cannot be accounted for by gravity, avalanche, or the vagaries of the winds. If the tree were mine and I wish it was, I would seriously shorten the long jin on the first right trunk. I would cut it almost in half. It looks to me like there is another larger trunk behind everything else that could be reduced. I would also consider changing the planting angle so that it inclines to the right about another 30*.
