Better pics! Its very hard to offer help with just a couple of images to view, you really need to have the tree in your hand to see all options. But I'll put my head on the block as ever and try to offer a suggestion.

Have a look at the pics attached. The first one shows where the main problem lies with inverse taper. This is not desireable for a bonsai, you may be able to reduce and improve it with some careful carving.

Positives, the trunk has a good shape and flow, you have plently of branches to work with!

To create a Bunjin you potentially loose most of these branches....my virtual may even still be foliage heavy, some prefer a much lighter style.

This is going to be quiet tricky to make anything from and needs to be styled carefully giving thought to live veins supplying the chosen branches.
I'm not sure where you are with experience, but maybe this would be better styled at a club workshop.

Good luck
Arnie
