Glenn,
You have good start to a great Literati style tree here!

Walter has put it in the proper pot for you & done a beautiful virtual as he always does.

Your virtual is a little heavy on the foliage for a Literati style though.

If it were mine (now I'm sticking my neck out) I wouldn't be to quick to remove the lower right branch, it really gives the tree good balance. It is just a little high in its placement on the trunk right now. If it is flexable enough it should be wired down to the level of the trunks bend so it appears to emanate from near that point. Then I would work to refine the foliage pads and repot it when it is ready. In addition the trunk could have some shari added to it that would enhance the story of struggle that this tree depicts.

just another point of view,

Bob O
