I would take the top leader off at the natural break in the foliage. If you squint and look at the tree you can see where to take it off.I would take the long leader off in the upper right hand side of the tree. Open a hole in the foliage by selective pruning in the lower right area of the tree. Wire the upper branches in the apex for a larger spread, and in the classical triangular shape. Round the top of the apex slightly. Extend the lower left branch for more balance due to the large curve of the trunk. Make sure to keep the apex centered right over the trunk or the tree will start to look like it will fall over.

This is a very nice start, and some great material. You have the potential for a great tree, Congratulations and good luck, Bonsaial
