little shimpaku

Hi everyone
Here is a before/after of a shimpaku I recently purchased from Chris up at Red Dragon Bonsai (go check out his nursery if your around the goldy!) At first I thought id give it a crack and style my tree as a kind of windswept twin trunk ..kinda didn't work how I wanted it too so the initial styling resulted in this, I'm pretty happy with it although not sure about the jin as it kind of takes your eye away from the main trunk (which I also thought doesn't sit well with the rest of the tree as it is the thickest part and the curve looks a little funky). Let me know your thoughts and inputs! always greatly appreciated.
cheers
