Beautiful tree and a great progression over the seasons.
Nice work - I do agree with Ken though that the top section looks a bit under-done.
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

G'day Iliya

This tree is coming on very well in your care mate :cool:

If I may throw in my :2c: I like the flow and movement of the trunk from the ground to the apex. The movement of the three red lines makes the tree flow nicely to the left. I know you are still growing it, but when you pot it to its final pot, I would the middle of the trunk over to the vertical black line to balance the direction to the left. I would also shorten the apex and first right hand branch as indicated by the curved black line. Keep the branch layers and apex full and rounded to give a more natural feel.

Keep it up mate
