Hi Carl,

Yes, what you've effectively done is make the tree too tall. I think that your unease with the trunk now is due both to that issue and the fact that the trunk should now be facing the opposite direction.

If you double the girth of the trunk in your virt (with appropriate taper) it will work better - the tree will not appear to be too tall. If you move the apex to the left AND increase the trunk girth, you'd be making things even more natural, pleasing (and consequently, artistic). ;-)

Art is fun. ;-)

Kind regards,
Andy
