Hello all, I hope you're doing well

I started this Scots pine from a seed pack my wife bought me when I first got into bonsai a few years ago. I had put a little movment in the trunk previously and had a long straight branch that I figured I could use on styling or just use as a sacrifice branch I just wired it up and with the thought of maybe making it a literati or bunjin style but then I thought well I could kind of make this a bit more of an informal upright or like an S ish shape tree or even one of those stumpy shohins. There is one lower branch that if I make and S shape or some kind of upright I could use as my lower first primary branch or I could maybe make it the new trunk line. I am really not so sure what to do or exactly I should do and I'd really be happy to hear what some folks would do if it eas their tree or they were to take over from where it's at.

Edit:
I just realized I uploaded a photo of a jbp rather than delete it I figured if anyone has advice for this one I'd be happy to recieve some on that as well
Thanks in advance.

There's not much on either tree to style. I suggest they both need some more growing before deciding what style to use.
To put it another way they are both very young so you can make almost anything from either of them as they grow and develop. You can make a plan and develop them into whatever you want.
