Re: New to bonsai, how did I do?
Good start Bentod,
Do you know what species this is? Can you tell us a bit about this one and how you got to where it is now? Make for a good read...
Cheers

Re: New to bonsai, how did I do?
Thanks, pretty pleased with how it's turned out. It is a tea tree (twisted sister) native to the area I live in, central Victoria. Had it in a fairly ordinary pot for around two years. It was a twin trunk and much bigger, so thought it was time to do some sprucing

Hahaha looks like you need to mow the lawn!
Tea trees are very forgiving and a great place to start!
What style are you going for? Have you chosen one yet?

Not really sure if I've chosen a "style" as such. It's heading somewhere

As in its right hand? To even up the weight?

More to close up some of the open space on the right hand side of the trunk, and to give more of a difference in the lowest foliage on either side.
To me looks a little too symmetrical in that respect
