Can you help with first styling?

As a general rule, the trunk should lean slightly towards the viewer. The needed 50 degrees + of 3 probably rules out that particular front.
The very first photo, with the upper trunk slightly leaning left is good.
Your tree, your rules…
Post a photo after spring leaf flush!

I will, thank you for your time.

I’ve just seen this for sale, how do you rate this? It’s a white pine 76cm high.

not in money terms, but quality.

I like Rafi’s idea. Or picture 4 as your front. I like the idea of creating “ancient” trees. Trees that have survived despite the wrath of mother nature, despite drought, and neglect. Perfection is not my goal, at least for now. Too many others do that too well.
