Nice tree mate! I like what you've done to it. :clap:

We're the front and back photos mixed up? I really like the back (second photo with the tree curving to the left.

I don't trust Bonsai, they are a little shady.

Yeh, thanks Jarad, that has been suggested before and maybe not completely off the table.
The problem with the current back is the entire tree sways back away from you. Therefore the current front the tree sways towards you.
This potting I pivoted the tree forwards about 15 degrees but that is still not enough. Another small issue with the current back being the front is the big winding root up the trunk, it forms a bit of a pigeon chest when looked at directly. Just little stuff and I have too'd and fro'd between them myself, in the end its the little stuff that made the difference.
Thanks for you interest,

Watty

I style Bonsai naturally, just as they would appear in the wild.

The front you have chosen, is the best choice. Great tree.
