Here's the second one.
I attempted to jin the apex and maintain the proper height and branch structure at the top.

You said: "Oh, well. I guess this is one is destined to be the average, leaning moyogi styled pine. They can't always be different and exciting. ;-)"

If you've got the itch, I would go for the different and exciting. The risk to reward ration may be in full effect here.

Let me know what you think--even if all I did was solidify your decision to leave the tree as is. I had a great deal of fun doing the virtuals. I might be dangerous if I really figure out how to do them well....

Yours,
Wendell
