I like the curve of the trunk and think a shortening of the jinned top would be appropriate. These are of course only my thoughts and I do enjoy your work so it really is your decision.

Ash--thanks for your observation about the left branch that crossed the front I chose to the right side. Had I left it that way, it would have covered or interfered with the most interesting feature of this tree; the abrupt downward movement of the trunk near the top. I agree with you that one or the other of the two branches may have to go at some point in the future.
