I’ll just go ahead and blurt this out though I doubt many will agree. I’d get rid of the descending branches on the right. In every photo shown they distract my attention from the excellent trunkline, bark, and jins by making me try to like them. You’d be left with a smaller, nicely balanced tree I think.

Hmm....not sure; something would need to come down just a bit for some visual weight on the right.

Perhaps ... and perhaps that could be done - a bit of rebalancing. I think it works better with the second pic. Or I’m wrong. Always a distinct possibility to keep in mind.
