Hey everyone thought i would take some pictures of my Juniper to see if anyone could help me. I'm not sure if i'm heading in the right direction with it so any advice would be appreciated

I am thinking of taking off one of the brances on the rightside of the bottom picture but am still not sure which one.

I would be potting that into a large pot or into the ground and allow it to thicken up for a few years before worrying too much about styling.

I would get some more bends in the trunk, and the ones you have, make them sharper.
Bend them much more and at next repot, Tilt the tree to the left to get movement directly out of the ground as well
Do not take off any more branches as the one you have will help thicken the trunk. Ia few years, you can remove the extras.
I suggest every Person interested in learning about Bonsai, and or just starting out, Have a read of these wiki pages
https://www.ausbonsai.com.au/wiki/index.php?title=Bonsai particularly the ones at the bottom on "Where to go to from here".
They will help you get a great start on getting a good understanding of what a Bonsai is or more importantly, What is Not a Bonsai
