Yes, this is a very healthy tree..i tilted it 20 degrees to the left as David suggested and trimmed the pads a lil..brought the first branch on the right down .. with a lil more growing in the apex it will be in balance..nice tree. If this were mine i'd work the branchin to be more elm like, instead of the poodle look.
....looked at the semi cascade..
