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.
Regards
Mike

This one is hard for me , been busy and too tired to think. Feminine, literati. Remove bar branch , no taper in trunk...
