good first attempt i see more posibilitys tough like a nice informal upright or even a slanting style and even since the length of the top branch some wire and twist it going up a literati style
only the branch on the right is growing in the opposite direction looks kinda off tbh
as well the branch wich is the top/trunk is going straight up leaning to the right a bit and its way to long imo
lowest branch should be the longest one
red line shows a better natural placement imo
green the informal option

Nonsense Rascal
I think you could actually pull off a windswept with this....
I would take that top branch and bend it out to grow toward the green arrow, get it out of the way and let it fatten up your base for a few years...untouched.
Then cut it it flush...maybe a nice Shari, but not Jin.
In the mean time...
Everything under the white line is perfect to actually start a pretty convincing windswept tree...
It starts at the base, and yours has a Damn nice angle.
Just pick a wind direction and follow it at all costs.
I think if you make it a long term plan..
It will look good.
Use side branches off the sacrifice to do all manner of experimenting before applying techniques to the final tree.
Sorry I'm ranting a lot of "what I would do's".
This is one of those for me.
More...
All that Yellow, (not the eggs!) would be sacrifice too...let em go...grow!
I'd like to see you utilize the branches pretty close to that first fork, and start your divisions close...
I think these are usually too stringy.
I really like how those two trunks look after the first fork. If the rest of the forks end up playing that well together, I think this will be great to view.
Of course....
I am definitely not the guy to.talk to about fabo juni health!
But I would guess those next forks need a few years before being cut back to...
But the can probly be wind wired next fall..
Pull it off!
