Newbie + Chinese Elm

Hello
About 2 weeks ago I bought my first chinese elm. It will be my first attempt at styling a tree. I have been reading a lot on this forum and I bought the Sunset bonai book and read it through a few times but I still have cold feet. I really like this little tree and dont want to screw it up. I mainly just want to get some opinions and see if I am headed in the right direction. In the picture I attached the top left is the front, top right is the left side, bottom left is back and bottom right is the right side. So far the only things I am pretty sure on are that I found the front and that the highest branch on the right side will need to be wired up as the new leader. I was planning on waiting until the end of winter/early spring to make any changes, at least I believe that is the proper time to do so. Please help a newbie out
