Nice work John,
Blue pots were nice but used too much soil.
#1 will make a great classic bonsai, I think it is the best of them.
#2 has some interesting things happening, my eye is drawn to the centre (is it a branch? ....or is it a trunk?) this makes the tree very interesting but I am not sure about it.
You get the best of both worlds one classic one interesting and .....one to sell
