You're taking a "macro" view of the plant now. That's not the best way to look at a bonsai in the beginning. You have to take a "micro" view of the individual elements the tree offers when you begin designing the tree. If you don't it, you will be constructing a building with no foundation.

In your photos, you only give a view of the silhouette and foliage. That is the most impermanent portion of the plant. What you need to show us is the base of the trunk, the interior branching. Those are the "bones" on which your future bonsai will be built, not with the extension growth on the branches.

Give us photos of the "nebari" (which is the portion of the trunk that "grasps" the ground, of the lower two third of the trunk, along with the primary branching. That will give a more solid idea of where you can go with this tree.
