Thanks Max, not out of order at all!
I have played with this particular branch over the years moved it into a few different positions and enjoyed the process. The tree is constantly evolving!

Lovely tree, much improved by lightening the foliage.

I'm wondering if you would consider getting a bit more dynamic shaping in the little back branch just behind the highest angle of the left trunk. It's a very important branch, and it might reflect the movement in the trunks and branches better.

Just my 2c., thanks for posting.

Thanks Gavin, you are spot on with this, it was the first thing I saw when I uploaded the photo. In fact I was trying to manipulate this branch a few hours ago. It needs another course of wire to achieve the movement I want but will get done soon

Due to be thinned again but needs to be repotted
Since junipers gain strength from foliage I prefer to repot and wait for signs of recovery before I reduce the foliage
