Yesterday I took the time to take care of my juniper which I styled at Vienna for the EBA New talent contest in 2008. The juniper was in these few years a bit neglected and was in need of a second styling. The material itself doesn't promise much, so I decided to meke something special out of it and give it some interest.
The new shape of the crown isn't much different from the original one, but the whole design is quite different. If nothing else this tree has some emotional and memmorial value for me.

Great Job! excellent work!
Very nice work.It's good to see the evolution of this Juniper.
I'm a little bit confused with the first branch. When you take the japanese bonsai rules, you can't leave a branch from negative curves. But when you cut this branch, it's faild from the whole composition. I'm curious about your opinion.
The slab is very good for this tree! Congratulation!
Greating from Budapest, Hungary!

I like japanese bonsai and try to make them look as japanese as possible (at least most of the time). But I use the traditional japanese rules only as guidelines and do not follow them literally. And so somehow I make my own bonsai style.

Overall I don't care if the branch grows from the inner side of the branch. :-)
It wasn't any critic, just interesting about it. I don't think that we have to keep every rules. ;-)
Don't worry, I didn't take it as a critic but as a normal quastion. And that was my opinion.
Regards, Nik
very nice tree
