This is a good result of a virgin styling. The artist has made a clear decision and made it a cascade that definitely wants to cascade. That means that the direction is clearly to the downward right becasue the top is subtle and just supportive over the trunk. I like the delicate treatment of the branches.
The overall appearance is slightly artificial, too much evenness throughout the little braches which individually are done nicely and naturally. By that I mean than all needle clusters are of almost equal size, the empty spaces in between are a bit too equal for my taste. I like the fact that there are not these often seen artificial big even gaps beween the main branches. But then the smaller, irregular gaps have slightly too equal optical weight for my taste.
The triangular form is all right in this case because it is a conifer and it is not too geometrically. But the silhouette is a bit too even and thus this artificial feeling.
Altogether this takes a couple of years and in the right pot it will be a beauty.
I give 6 points of ten.
