Candelabra style???

This is a juniper I've had for a few yrs and I finally did it's first styling. However I am stumped as to what style to call it .I thought naturalistic. But then I thought candelabra .But isn't it just a plain old informal upright if I change the planting angle when I repot?? Any thoughts??
Regards

Even if you think that I am joking, that's what it probably is according to my system. Style is the general thing. Form is the specific thing. __________________ best regards Walter Pall http://walter-pall.de I don't design bonsai, I design trees. Tradition is not the custody of ashes but the propagation of fire.

I take your opinion very seriously. Do you ,or any others here , see where I can make improvements for the tree's future . Possibly a different pot or planting angle.?

However, the jin from the old top doesn't look dmaged enough, to me anyway, to tell the story convincingly, of how the top died, maybe by lighening strike. I might also like to make to foliage on the left side shorter to give it a bit more movement. Good job. Keep us posted on its progress. PS The pot seems to work bur may be a bit "feminine" even with the nails, for the "masculine" look of the tree. JMHO __________________ David Yedwab
