Very interesting material. The kind that Walter likes for his workshops.
I hope he will chip in on this one.
I like Matt's second virtual, to me it has the best dynamic balance, it is slightly less slanted than the original. With the first virtual, I am struggling to find a role for that strong horizontal branch to the left, it is too strong for the rest of the composition.
I agree with Carl that the actual tree has a most unfortunate planting angle, I think Mike should be ticketed for that
