All in all a very good effort.

I think the trunk heights can be used as is... If they bud back, great... You are in a very tall forest.

If there are height to trunk diameter correction, by all mean s make them!

The trees to the left that lean are disconcerting- they make my eye "Fall out of the pot" to follow the lean. The "nice" conditions that created this picture would have these grow straight up, especially in an uncrowded setting like you've shown. All the Japanese forest show them leaning out but I wonder if that's not so they can ram a few more seedlings in; it makes no sense to me in a formal upright forest...

Once the trees have recovered from initial transplanting you should start organizing the canopies a little.

Perhaps add some smaller plants ins at the bases to add additional interest and distract some from the trunk height.

It reminds me a bit of the trees you might see in a Turner or Constable painting. Or more recent, a painter by the name of Steven Doherty.
