Thanks!
What 'bothers' me about the branch on the right, is that it's pointing up and then goes straight to the right. But maybe that's just me...
The lowest pad does seem a bit heavy. It's partly because the pad behind it is almost on the same level (red arrow on the left), and that's extending far to the left. I can't really reduce that one, because the braches are too leggy.
There's also a small branchlet laying 'on top' of the lowest pad. I could use that to split it in two. If you look at the second picture though, the pad already seems more light.
Concerning the apex; do you mean the overal contour of the apex? Or the direction?
Thanks for the feedback.
