I don't like the bottom branches either. If you do decide to remove them, i'd go with a jin first. then you can chop it away if it isn't right.

The branch that tuckerg removed doesnt sit right to me either, its too straight as it comes away from the main trunk, and a wee bit naked.

I think that lowering the foliage on the left at the top might help a bit.

On the whole i like it, plenty of potential and i'd love to be working on it myself!
