Sorry Tony, I was mistaken, I thought you said cutting at the red line, (you weren't saying that right?), but I think I will cut on the green line, I know now you're wondering what is he going to do, but hey there's a cool branch there (in the back) which can be the leader, and the taper wouldn't be that abrupt and irreal

so I think now I've got your point... thanks buddies...
Now on the blue line is another option, but the taper would be too abrupt wouldn't it?, well, but now I'm almost convinced on the green one...
