One thing I noticed that did not quite seem to be helping the overall appearance was the fist fork in pic #1. The two main branches seemed to almost mirror each other whithout enough separation or difference in line between them with regard to the 'front' as shown.
I see in the lastest version that you noticed the same thing and have addressed that problem nicely. For what it's worth, I find your newly improved line much more easy on the eyes.
The only other design issue is one that time will likely take care of on it's own, that being the general notion of truck width vs. tree height. The tree does look a bit skinny because it is so tall compared to the tree's base dimensions. Since you are already developing smaller branches, I assume at some point you plan to just let the tree grow for a year or two without cutting the apex rather than trying to lower the whole crown, no? This of course, will thicken the base for the desired proportion as opposed to lowering the top to achieve the same goal of eventually giving the appearance of a more mature tree.
All in all, I'd say nice work on a nice tree that's well on it's way!
Cheers,
Arty
