Goo morning guys
Today I styled for the first time this small Japanese Black Pine
I purchased it at a bonsai event this spring.. It has got a lot of small new shoots inside… I hope that they will grow better non

Considering the size you made it look much better and open and it looks healthy. However style is very generic. It needs an individual personality. There are several whorl branches that need reduced to a single branch at that level. This will open it up to better styling possibilities and individual branch development.

Very nice, this is a good first styling especially for someone with limited experience. While the comments from @Potawatomi13 are more or less on the mark, I would wait a few months before doing more. The reason is I suggest this is I often see new to bonsai practitioners prune way too much off a tree, then end up waiting many years for trees to grow back and replace foliage removed. Better to start slow, remove a little less. You can always cut off more later.

Also, re-wire and re-position the branches you have right now, see if you are happier with the new possible arrangements. You can always cut later.
