Revealing the tree from underneath shows the more traditional slingshot type of trunk so prevalent on junipers. With a trunk like this the only option is to remove one of the trunks. Obviously the design will fall into the litarati style due to the size of the trunk, the lack of designer branches down low, and the lack of significant taper. These are the building blocks of good bonsai.
When those three things are abundent, design issues are much more broad. Lacking those three reduces your design ideas significantly.
