Thank you for your sequence of photos. This is a lessen that I learnt probably a year ago now. I am starting to rid myself of trees that I see no potential in and dedicate my time to the trees I see a lot of potential in. I have learnt a lot of valuable lessens with regards to techniques and so on through my early trees but I know that they will never be what I want them to be. So I sell them at cost usually to people I know. So I might get rid of 6 no potential trees and find 1 excellent potential tree that I would purchase with the money I sold the 6 no potential trees. This is what I am doing now when the opportunity arises.

With a good mentor who taught me a lot about bonsai I found that I MUST study a tree thoroughly, even spending hours looking at it and weighing up the pros and cons of the tree before deciding anything. Better to spend a few hours studying the tree before buying it and spend many more hours on a tree that you will never be happy with.
