Well, they say, "grow the trunk first." These have some personality. With the first tree, you seem to have broken a rule that bonsai should not lean away from the viewer. But I expect you have a plan as the branches grow in.

Looks very good.
I am not sure that I would keep the smaller trunk on the first tree. It seems to conflict with the main trunk.

Sorry, but I don't recognize either of the two as a murraya - a Murraya Paniculata.
Am I wrong?
Regards

Same here, they look a bit more like Bougainvillea and ??? but it is hard to say without a close up, but defenitly not Murraya paniculata, although there are other types.
Enrique.
P.D. good begining, just let them recover for some time before the next styling.

Enrique, Marcus,

The first tree is a vitex ( we locally call them Mulawin) and the other one is a Murraya Exotica ( just got the name from another forum and we locally call them Kamuning Binangonan.)

umm interesting it looks nothing like the vitex around here. do you know what species of vitex do you have?
Here we have lots of Murraya paniculata, but no exotica, it looks interesting, does it also have white fragrant flowers?
Best wishesEnrique

Is it Murrya for sure? but Murraya exotica or M.paniculata have pinnate leaves- looks like this plant's leaves are different than regular Murraya !
