Posts: 646	Strenght: Nice Bark Ramification of branches is developing Weakness: The angular nature of the top half does not harmonise with the rounded shape of the transition from the trunk in to the first branch and this gives a distinct image of two different trees on top of each other. Reverse taper in top third. The apex and the two top branches seem to be eminating from the same point. Heavy foliage load makes the tree seem top heavy Suggested improvement: Thin out the needles. Try to make the transition from trunk to first branch more angular. Decide which two of the top branches to keep and work on the apex Try to reduce the reverse taper (maybe a judiciously placed shari on the extreme bend would allow that) althought this is not a major point, I think the nebari could also do with a little attention.
