Nice work! I have a full-sized Norway spruce in my front yard (not sure how old it is, but it's clearly been there for a long time). Just as an FYI, as they mature the heavier branches develop a pronounced sag and then curve back upwards, with most of the foliage "dripping" off of the branch in a downward direction. It gives the tree a distinctive silhouette. Not that I'm suggesting changing your tree, but if you work with the species in the future you might want to try developing one or two along these lines. It's not strictly speaking a proper bonsai style (to my mind anyway), but it is how these trees naturally grow.
