Pretty much first bonsai, mostly just wanting opinions on styling!

I went to a bonsai class last night and got to learn about bonsai, and style this cute little elephant bush! They taught us to pot it, and gave us care instructions and I also got some fertilizer to use after 2 weeks.

They encouraged us not to make "major structural changes" until after it's over the transplant shock, so I'll wait a bit but I thought I could plan at least!

Anyways, main question, what do y'all think about me taking off the branch in the back? I put a red line where I could cut in the second picture, that way I can emphasize the curvature of the other branch, opinions?
