I gave this tree an initial styling a couple of weeks ago. It's a grafted JWP I bought from a bonsai nusery.
The curves in the trunk reminded me of 'classical', elegant bonsai and I really wanted to keep that in mind while styling this tree. I had chosen this side as the front because of the nebari and the amount of branches on the other side.
I found it difficult to decide which branch would be the first. I eventually kept the lowest branch, although it's on the inside of a curve.
Best shot I could take with my cellphone camera...
I didn't prune any old needles on the lower branches, only in the apex.
I like the result so far, but feel free to add some critique or give tips!
