Hi Treebeard,
I agree with Jim. Just a thought: the lowest branch should be the strongest (as it is in theory at least) the oldest. I guess I would try to use the left branch as first branch as it is nicely place on the outer curb of the trunk. Prune it so it doesn't go straight up but get some back budding and move it down. Remove the right lowest branch and get the next one up to move downwards too... It would make the tree look more mature and be more in keeping with the second left branch from below which is much more horizontal than the branch underneath it... It might be worthwhile having the gaps on the left hand side.
Just some ideas to play with
