No not really, except maybe right up top near the apex where it looks like there might be a large branch going back and another forward? Is it a layering opportunity? Only a closeup will tell. The crown could use some density with perhaps some forward branches in the vicinity of the middle of the tree to disguise the lack of taper just at that point.

The tree is getting a little tallish, but it suits it. Unfortunately the movement in the lower 1/3 might disappear slowly as the tree ages and thickens, so this should be taken into consideration in the long-term plan.

Maybe down the road the branch on the lower left could be removed and the planting angle changed slightly with the branch above coming down more to fill in a bit. What do you think?
