Newly acquired juniper suggestion for front and styles
I got this great juniper pre-bonsai today. It's a decent size, the pot that its in is 10" diameter. I'm trying to decide on a front and how to style it and figure I would post it here for suggestions. At the moment I like the first image and the 3rd on down in the right column.
Any input is welcome!!

Looks like a good tree to work on. Using the first photo (the individual pics are too small for my talents with virtuals), the tree is too tall. I'd shorten it by 1/3, then remove the lowest branches.
The lack of taper may be your largest problem. I can't see if there is a candidate branch for a new top.

I respectfully disagree. I would NOT remove the lowest branches at this point. We need a third opinion.

The lowest branches are nothing but twigs. They provide nothing to the tree and their use as sacrifice branches is negligible, as far as I can see. But it won't hurt to keep them there; just makes it a bit more difficult to see a design for the tree.

Thanks for the input.
Jim - not that I'm opposed to it but if I cut the top third of the tree there really isn't a suitable candidate left for a leader and no canopy would be remaining. I was considering leaning the tree a considerable amount to the right and removing some of the lower branches.
Iris- I agree the more advice the better!
