Yamadori potential bunjin, looking for styling ideas.

[Tycoss]

I collected a few skinny, weal little spruce in spring of 2017 with the intention of developing them into bunjin trees. I left them at my parent’s cabin where they were collected, but most unfortunately were eaten by a moose (a very Canadian problem I know). This one made it and is now quite strong.

I plan to style it this fall. as we all know, it is not easy to pull off a convincing tree with this sort of material, so I’m looking for ideas for front/branch selection. Here are some views. Thanks in advance.
I have my own ideas, but what front/branches would you all use?

I see what you mean now looking at the pictures. It definitely looks a lot more congested and chaotic than it does in person. I appreciate your input.

I am considering using one major “drop branch” and building the rest of the crown from small but fast growing shoots near the apex. Something along these lines:
I see several variations on this, I’ll perhaps noodle around with them a bit on the photos.

Get rid of that straight trunk section at the top

I am also considering a single branch and jinned top idea. It’s hard to show in pictures, but something like this but with more movement/less length in the branch:
