Wolfgang,
Here's my two cents. I have used a picture from the IBC gallery and took this site as the front. I cut off the top left branch an d made a jin. I bent the top right branch down (assuming that this is possible, it doesn't look that thick) and developed the foliage in a triangular shape. I shortened the right jin considerably and reshaped it. I think this is mutch to prominent right now. Lastely I shaped the jins on the left and put the tree in this tokoname pot. This way the design is much more compact and the beautiful movement in the trunk is visible. Tell me what you think ?
Here is the original :
