Hi Zen,

Looking at your tree, I see my European Larch as it was looking a while back. (picture 1) After some changes (picture 2) it is looking like this now (picture 3), so I think that yours is coming too, where my tree is now. I think it has a lot more potential as a windswept than Harry Harrington's tree, as Will is mentioning. Maybe that one has a nice taper, but it doesnt look like a confincing windswept to me.
IMHO a windswept has a nice onesided nebari, as if it grabs on to the ground and branches going one side, swept by the wind. Offcourse there has to be movement in them. When you look on google on: windswept or fukinagashi, you'll find some interesting ones, like f.i.:

But yours will come to that, as Crabs allready said. Hope you keep us informed
