Positives:
I like the large scar, it gives it a dynamic feel
The trunk has a nice/interesting texture
I see that there are surface roots all around

Negatives:
The foliage mass is to small for the trunk length
The second little trunk is way out of proportion and distracting
The lone airial root is way to straight and, well, alone

Suggestions:
Lose the second trunk
extend the lower branches to create a wider canopy
grow more airial roots or (My choice) lose the airial root

Overall:
I really like this tree. I think it has much potential. The two big scars tell the story of an old tree that, twice in it's past, suffered near fatal wounds, but it had the strength and the will to persavere.
