I cropped the original (below) to get a closeup of this rather impressive deadwood. Even though there is no variety listed, the fresh buds look a lot like a Yew in full spring glory.
All the trees shown here were posted by Luis Vallejo. Because Luis is a highly accomplish and prolific bonsai artist, we can assume they are all his (unfortunately, and due primarily to laziness, facebook and other online sites are rife with unattributed bonsai).

This shot give a good view of the spread of the nebari. Conversely, part of the rather impressive trunk is hidden by foliage. Typically, bonsai are shot with the trunk eye level, rather than from above. No variety is listed, but it's easy to see that it's a Trident maple.
This is an unusual tree. It looks like at least two Japanese maple varieties, but it also looks like a clump style bonsai with a single root system. The easiest explanation is that at least one trunk has reverted to the foliage of the parent tree (Japanese mountain maple) while the rest have maintained the more colorful, smaller cultivar foliage (I won't guess the variety).
Another tree with an impressive nebari. Looks a lot like a Stewartia with its reddish exfoliating bark and that nebari (Stewartia, like Trident maples. are known for dramatic nebari).
