Pinyon Styling advice, please.

[Captkingdom]

Here is the Pinyon (pinus monophylla, I believe) that I collected 1 year ago this month.
I know it isn't ready for serious work yet but I want to give some more serious and counseled thought to its future direction.
I have posted a couple pictures here of possible fronts, and here is a link to a 360 video. https://youtu.be/iV2-vFebjvE
The fourth picture here represents my preferred direction at this point based on my novice skill level. It involves bending an upper branch that follows the trunk-line down significantly and developing more branches and a nice top. However please do not limit advice to the novice level because I can follow instructions and I can also get help from locals with more experience.
I also considered the possibility of low grafts and a chop but I an not as confident in this nor as enthused about the time it would take to get results.
I look forward to your suggestions.
Also, Thank you , Vance for the pot design.

I think the second pic is a better front. i think it moves well. Plus the first pic gives the illusion of / exposes inverse taper just above the soil. Just a noob with two cents.

I'm not sure this is pinus monophylla, they are natives here and tend to have thicker needles that are grayish blue. To me yours looks like a douglas fir, bit I could be wrong. Nice tree nevertheless.

EDIT :I just noticed the candles so it very well could be a monophylla cultivar.

Thanks i will think about that. There is certainly a lack of taper near the base. I was actually wondering about doing some root grafts high enough to help with that.

Agree I do. #1 and #3 both show inverse taper but #2 does not seem to. Most important consideration in picking best front. Not a bad starter tree.
