Here's an Olive Tree I worked with for 6 months, the tree was a split Twin trunk style and after wiring this is what I came up with:

You could probably get more replies with a better quality picture. Tell us where you see this tree going. Tell us what you've done to it.

It looks like you could add a little more separation in the foliage at the top. Possibly bringing those branches down to start a tiered approach.

I'd suggest letting this tree grow freely for a while to gain some size and open up the possibilities. That is advice contingent on what you see happening with the tree though.

I appreciate your feed on this... I was considering trimming the foliage a little bit more on the right hand side, so it makes a better impression, my decision was to let it grow for sure, I want thickness as well as style

There are two major problems with this tree that may not bother you now but somewhere down the road as you mature in the art they will. You have two major faults, a sling-shot trunk sort of thing going on with the left two trees and the smaller tree on the right crosses over the two main trees. You might want to think about doing something about this configuration.
