The tree is looking very good.
As Lennard suggested it might look really nice planted on a mound on top of a rock.

Looks like the big surface root has died and rotted, you could cut it off and sit tree more upright?

The surface root is still well and truly alive.

Looking good in what looks like a Pat Kennedy pot.
The tree has some semi cascade movement happening; thought of putting the tree in a semi-cascade style pot?
After roughly 20 years of growing bonsai, I reckon I might just be starting to get the hang of it...
