Better yet, let us know why you think it should be pruned. You know, everything you do in bonsai has a reason..

Are you looking for different types of trees, or for different bonsai styles?

For instance I know what a chinese elm and a japanese maple looks like, but not sure what a black pine, white pine, etc look like. If I had a book with pictures, or a website that would help a lot! Any information would be appreciated
You are on such a website... check on top, under Tree species.

Also, is there a website that teaches about the training of individual bonsai's or that give workshops on them, or should I just youtube for videos?
thank you

Or your smartphone? There's an app named Leafsnap that you can use to make photos of leaves and it will try and recognize the species. Doesn't tell you how to train it though.
There are several good sites about the training of specific tree species. Best is to google for '名媛直播 care guidelines' + the species name.
Here is one that has good articles:
