gave this zelkova nire (or ulmus parvifolia suberosa) a drastic haircut

Got this one at a sale from my local bonsai dealer.

Before (trunk invisible, crossing upwards branches)




After (a bit too much maybe?) Pic is not really good...taken in a hurry

another haircut

Tree explodes in leaf growth. Tricky to keep things under control. Suggestions on styling are welcome. Should I shorten some branches to create a better trunk-branches balance? ?
