Shorten the top two horizontal branches. Thin the branches in the foliage mass to two more horizontal branches and bend the apex to the right. Wire the top for triangular shape. detail wire the remaining branches and shorten for shape where necessary.

This is the first time on this forum that someone has ever taken a tree that had a suggestion about it, done the work, and reposted the results. The second branch on the left needs to be a little longer, and then it will be ready for a new pot. Could probably do that with wire. Nice job, Bonsai-al __________________ If you can't be a player...be an athletic supporter!
