Boxwood styling help

Hi all,

I picked this boxwood up at home depot about two years ago. The triple trunk caught my eye and the nebari was quite nice so it came home with me. Once home I couldn't decide how to style the tree. All three trunks are about the same size, the nebari is decent and the top is bushy.

My first idea for styling was a flat top bonsai like so - http://glyn4life.tripod.com/bonsai-en/pbs4.jpg

As far as I can tell this tree doesn't fall into one of the statndard bonsai styles, is a triple trunk considered "bad" in bonsai design?

Does anyone have any suggestions for styling this tree?

Pics 1 & 2 show the nebari.
Pic 3 is the front I picked.
Pic 4, 5 & 6 is the tree rotated clockwise.

Thanks

Rickie
