I would go a little bit more than Sosori
I would lose the Top section completely and work with the left branch as my apex and rebuld from there. The only problem is that by doing this it makes the Trunk straight from just below my cut so some movement will be needed in this section Ken

looking at it again i think i'd rather use the left branch as a new leader, nice exit point especially if it will bend and twist clockwise to the right (long soft curve).
