Shave a little off the left or grow out the right a little to get better balance. Move that root to the right if it's needed, or cut it off. Clean up the base with a wire brush (the tree may have been watered and is causing the dark area). Put a nice top dressing of soil; perhaps a dark gray. Very nice broom with a little clean up.

I don't mind the feet. As mentioned already, they will mature with age. I think a nice job was done with the color of the stand matching the feet while they are at this stage.
