Have Pics, Need Your Opinions Please?
looking at these 4 pictures, what style should i start training for: Semi-cascade, wind-swept, something else? this tree looks to my mostly un-educated eye to have some nice natural branch lines already. this is my first bonsai to actualy begin training with. these pics are after i just pruned, thinned and trimmed. all opinions are welcomed. just be gentle with me... = )

I believe you should go for windswept, I really don't see the formal upright there... But, I ain't a master or near to a master... so, wait up for the other guys to make up some virtuals

YOU CAN NOT RUSH TIME
 
|
Hi, Your tree can be developed in several styles. The one you should avoid is Windswept. Windswept is extremely hard to pull of correctly. It seems easy, but when you get down to it, it ain't!
Study your tree...then study your tree. Try some vertuals and then study your tree and the vertuals. Try and visualize the tree in 5...10...20 years. This is what you are building! Patience is the main tool you need to use. Enjoy the process... go s l o w!!!

Question... are those rocks glued on? If they are....get them off.... do it carefully. Also, the picture is taken inside, you are not keeping this tree indoors are you?
