carmona Help please.. :)

Hi I have just been brought a Bonsai for my anniversary. But to be honest I am not too confident on how to prune or shape it. I have taken pictures all round. :-

The right side.

Now I have had this for a week as I said brought for as a present.

How would I go about shaping it or pruning?

also does it look like it would need a prune sorry to sound soo dumb but really do like Bonsai trees would love to learn how to keep on alive.

Right now, I would concentrate on keeping the tree alive. It's doesn't look like it needs any major pruning or shaping. I'd sit back, and sort of relax and see how it does before I worried about stressing it through pruning and shaping.

Thank you Kdodds hoping it survives to be honest. Bonsai Trees are like chocolates just one and you get stuck in :).
