Hi.
You got a nice little conifer which should be formed into a twin trunk.You should make one trunk smaller and a bit leaning to the side.Then you should make few branches to lean whit the twin trunk to show off its shape.Then shape the foliage like all real conifers that all the foliage is on top like clouds.But dont make them too difrent, because you know its a TWIN TRUNK.

I posted some pictures

Hi,

Your welcome.I recomend just to wait a bit for it to grow but you can do a tiny Mame or Shohin bonsai (well a bit bigger than Mame or Shohin).Just let it grow a little bit and then start forming,or just start forming now.

Id like you to update in your traning.

Yes, photos will always automatically be cropped in photos of around 100kb ;)

Actually you're well on your way to a great bonsai. You're bonsai should be modeled to have more "pads" of foilage instead of pom poms.

I would suggest eliminating more branches and then bending the remaining outwards so you get "pads".

Nevertheless, you got a specimen that matches nicely with the landscape.
