Thanks Paul,
and as far as branches, #4 from bottom on right for sure, and maybe the bottom left could use a bit more...

This elm and bonsai in general
Well being new here I am just getting to read some of the posts, this one in particular, and as usual I am late to the party. But, this time, I am a little regretful for being late. The tree is wonderful, the pot beautiful, the pair together fabulous. I have heard first one then the other praise the naturalness and spontaneous nature of the composition and they have all been good comparisons and contrasts. The rules? what rules?
Oh, I know there are standards and ideals for a tree to meet and be judged by; however, I grow my plants for my pleasure. I could not care less for what some bitty blue hair or some gin-blossomed coot have to say about my trees. I grow other plants for sale and for my pleasure and relaxation. So I have no difficulties saying the obvious. It usually goes along these lines: "Well thank you for sharing your opinion but I don't recall asking for it. Can you find your way to the road?"
This tree exemplifies the truthful reality of a tree without being brash. Go with your heart and what seems "right" the rest of it is bs.

This is completely intended to help but often wires like this are actually called "guy" wires. That being said, I know guy wires are typically used for providing stability (for an antenna tower, etc.) but these are actually "guiding" the branches. Hmmm...
What began has a gentle correction has turned into a question. Which is correct? Inquiring minds thought they knew and now are not so sure...

Six of one, half a dozen of another - it's just semantics.
To me both terms are appropriate.
Cheers,
