Hi Ron.. Nice tree with good potential here. I agree and also like pic 2 quite a bit more than one. The trunk on pic 2 is very nice. It has the subtle, meandering curves that are considered very pleasing in bonsai. The trunk in pic 1 is nice, but it is very straight. Also, if you do go with pic 2, moving the apex a bit more in toward the trunk would make for a well balanced tree. However, no immediate decisions need to be made.. Just letting the tree rest is a good idea.
Nice job
Rob
