Chamaecyparis Boulevard re-styling suggestions

Could you suggest, I've kept a lot of branches so that there are many to choose. At the moment it looks uninteresting, myself I'm thinking of an aged Pine, what are your thoughts.

Try posting a picture again. With this species of tree a picture is vitaly important because you just can't cut here and there "Willy-Nilly" or you will kill branches you have hope for if you don't kill the tree.

Still not showing up!
Try to attach the picture by clicking the "manage attachments" button.
You will have to scoll down a little on the post screen.

Hi John,


I would open up your Chamacyparis a little more, making it a little informal. It looks very manly styled now. In the attached picture you'll see what I mean. (this isnt my though, sadly not )

Keep us informed,

Wessel

Hi John,

I think the only thing this nice tree needs is opening up a bit, and differend lenght in the branches will give it a more older and natural look. And a more rectangulare pot, will make it more look like a old tree on a small hill in the distance, witch will give an even more naturale feel to the bonsai.
This tree has a lot of potential, well don!
Regards,
Hans van Meer.
