Beautiful tree. Side 3 is phenomenal! Just a pity has a "too frontal" branch in that front?

#3 is my favorite front by far, but it is great to see a tree that looks good from all angles!

I say keep side one, but with a slight tip backward. I think the roots and base together look best from that view, but it looks like a pretty drastic lean forward. Side 3 is probably unworkable for the same reason, plus the huge eye-poker root.

Nice tree!

I like the old man crusty knobby branches. Looks like it has been bashed by the elements for years and years.

Nice tree!
You've got a sharp eye! That's exactly the plan of this tree.
