Hi David,

Nice tree, and impressive styling job!

To my eye, the vertical trunk seems to rob the tree of some of its potential dynamicism, and create an incongruity between base and apex.

Here is a virtual in which I've rotated the planting angle by about 10 degrees to the clockwise. I've bent the entire foliage mass another 8 degrees clockwise, and the I've bent the apex another few degrees clockwise. I don't show it in the virtual, but ideally I'd like to see the apex moving a bit more to the right, in harmony with the jin (which could be reduced somewhat, in my opinion.)

I've made the foliage outline a bit too equilaterial of a triangle, but perhaps this is sufficient to get the general idea across.

What do you think?

Best regards,
Carl
