Nice tree
But one thing I don't like is that front left branch that is really long. Not sure what can be done with it beside removing it?

Which one?
I am thinking of removing the long branch on the left, the one running full length with the trunk.

Yeah that's the one I'm talking about, just looks a bit out of place to me.

Very nice tree so far.

But i do agree about losing the lowest left branch, and i would probably remove the 2nd left branch also... I cant really see your branch structure properly but if possible id then bring the bottom right pad away from the trunk a little bit for balance.
Very crude virt attached showing sort of what i mean.

PS. im no expert
