In this side view, you can see how the trunk rolls towards the viewer, and sinks under the tree. While you can not see this from the front view of the tree, it is a large fault and is not acceptable in good bonsai.
Even if the tree lacks great exposed roots, it would be acceptable if the trunk flared and went into the ground nice and straight. A good bonsai should have no negative taper and there should be no voids around the trunk.
